'95 Micra - Heater fan - Geraldhiggs

Heater fan only works on full blast, what's likely to be the problem and can I fix it without major dismantlement? Wife hankering after another one but only does 2K a year and car runs perfectly well enough for that.

There is probably a resistor pack that can be switched in series with the motor, it seems that yours has packed up.

Under the dash on passenger side,2 bolts/screws undo and slide out what looks like a credit card.Undo connection and remove.It will have burned out.You will be able to see where,at the top where the printed circuit is 'fattest'.Rub down with very fine wet & dry and solder a bridge across.Be patient,its tricky to do.I've done this a few times with success.Most cards in the sc***yard are burned out as well but can be repaired.Be careful about buying from ebay,as parts from sc***ped cars are about the same age and are on their way out !
A new card is about £40 from Nissan.
