I now await the imminent electrical fire.
I'm beginning to think I might be safe from setting my wiring alight; mostly 'cos I discovered that the entire blower circuit is fused (as well as the resistor card). I discovered this the stupid way by blowing the fuse when I put my fan on full and it stopped working completely
Alternatively, I could've just looked at the wiring diagrams in the back of the Haynes manual :upside: Luckily Nissan give u a few spare fuses (one of each, lol) so I'm on one of those at the moment, I just have to remember not to turn the fan up past 2 :upside: 'cos I don't have another 15A one and I'm not putting a higher rated one in.
As u can tell, my fan is really dying now in spite of my experiments with lubrication. I've discovered a few things about that which others may find useful/amusing-
1. WD40 works a bit but makes ur car smell of it for at least a day.
2. 3in1 oil also seems to work to some degree.
3. The brown oil (resembling engine oil) in a rusty oiling pump/can thing in my parents' cellar BOILS :wow: in the bearing, produces smoke, smells of burning and overall gives the impression that ur car is on/is about to be on fire. Stick with WD40 and 3in1 oil.
I really need a new blower, the trick is avoiding ending up with one in a similar state to mine.
