about a fiver second hand and very easy to replace yourself ...... 2 screws and a clip and its out ..... look under the dash on the passenger side ( may need a torch )

This has been covered 6 million times lol

Thanks andy. i guess i'll have to get the BF to do it, as being a girl and not knowing much about cars, it wont be an easy task for me to do!!

We only learn about cars because we do these tasks!

it might of bin coverd arnold but my gf is new to this and doesnt know how to use the site. so try and be more helpful like andy.

thanks andy i'll have a look this weekend

thanks again.

down by the passanger side foot well, behind the heater box (black round unit) u should see a credit card shape item, with a brown connector block going into it with 4wires!! this is the resistor card!!

just taken a photo for you!!!

you can either get another from a scrapard that may have same problem or solder the blown area again!!

naps

is that all it is, should be easy

yep :blush: that should be it!!! hope that has helped!! when u remove it u should see a "blown area" where the contacts are no longer joined in a circuit.....which is why you dont have settings 1,2+3.

how much would a new one cost? just in case i can't get one second hand!

I beleive its the same card used in Almeras and Primeras.

so i can get a card out of one of them too and it'll work fine?

prices on a brand new one?

off the top of my head, about £30 + VAT.

Remove 2 x crosshead screws either side of the plug
Scape either side of the 'blob' to expose fresh copper track.
Resolder if you have or can borrow an iron.

Apparantly conductive paint works too.
Buy some or try a windscreen place. They use it repair heated rear screens.

Around £35 from Nissan for a new one.
