Where is the blower located in the old Nissan Sylphy?

Location introduction of the blower in the old Nissan Sylphy: The blower of the Nissan Sylphy is located on the inner left side of the glove box in the passenger seat. Its function is to blow the cold air from the air conditioning evaporator or the hot air from the heater core into the car. The blower is a mechanical device that relies on input mechanical energy to increase gas pressure and discharge gas, and it is a driven fluid machinery. The following are the basic characteristics of the blower: 1. The blower does not require lubrication as the impeller operates without friction inside the body: the discharged gas is oil-free, making it an ideal gas source for chemical and food industries. During use, the flow rate changes very little with pressure variations, but it varies with speed. 2. The blower operates at a relatively high speed: the gaps between the rotor and rotor, and between the rotor and the body are small, resulting in less leakage and higher volumetric efficiency. 3. The structure of the blower determines that its mechanical friction loss is very small: because only the bearings and gear pairs have mechanical contact. In material selection, the rotor, casing, and gear ring have sufficient mechanical strength.
The blower of the old-generation Sylphy is located beneath the footwell area in front of the passenger seat. Honestly, it's tucked behind the trim panel between the dashboard and glove compartment, making it quite inconspicuous at first glance. Opening the glove box gives you a partial view, and sometimes you'll need to remove the carpet or plastic panels to fully expose it. The positioning is quite logical—designed to save space while ensuring efficient airflow from the blower, as the AC system's performance would suffer otherwise. If you're trying to access it, I recommend sliding the seat fully forward to avoid obstructions, then carefully removing a few securing clips with a screwdriver—take your time to prevent part damage. By the way, common blower issues include excessive noise or failure to spin, often caused by dust buildup on blades or motor wear. Regular cleaning can extend its lifespan. Remember: safety first—never attempt repairs while driving.
