Heater fan fuse Nissan Qashqai

The heater fan fuse (two fuses, as always with Nissan) are located in the fuse box in the passenger compartment. At the bottom of the panel, to the left of the steering column. Fuses number 15 and 16 are fifteen amps. Be sure to change two fuses.

Fragment of a diagram of a Qashqai heater fan with automatic control. The rotation speed of the fan motor is controlled here using a power transistor.

And a fan control circuit in the version with manual climate control. In this case, the speed is controlled using a set of resistors. Please note that in position 4 of the regulator, power is supplied directly to the stove fan. If the heater fan on your Qashqai only works at speed 4, it makes sense to immediately remove the regulator, most likely the thermal fuse in it has burned out.

How to make a replacement?

In the cabin there is a fuse box, which is most often responsible for lighting devices. Any of them is easy to replace: first of all, you will need to remove the battery terminal with the minus mark, just in case. This is done to avoid accidental electric shock during operation.

It is most convenient to dismantle the fuse using special pliers or tweezers. If a component is burnt out, it must be replaced with a similar one. A dirty contact socket must be cleaned; for this it is recommended to use a special contact cleaning spray. You can also use a special brush.

Attention: Make sure that the rated resistance of the new fuse is the same as the old one.

There is nothing complicated in replacement; the only important thing is that the rating matches for the correct operation of the electrical circuits. If this condition is not met, then either the safety element will often burn out, or, conversely, there will be no benefit from it, and a short circuit will occur, which will harm the electrical equipment.

When should the installation be done?

Fuses do not have an expiration date, so they need to be changed as needed. For example, if the headlights cannot be adjusted, the light has become dim, it would not hurt to look into the fuse box and at the same time check whether the car is producing the correct voltage.

If the cigarette lighter fails and stops heating, it also wouldn’t hurt to check the fuse. If there is no light in the cabin, most often the culprit is not burnt-out lamps, although they should also be checked, but a burnt-out fuse element. It can also cause the cooling fan to fail. Before disassembling or replacing any device, you need to look into the unit and check if they are all working properly.

The location of the fuses plays an important role. You can't swap them or confuse them. When replacing several, remove them one at a time so as not to violate the rating. Different appliances require different power supplies.

Deciphering it on a paper diagram will help you understand which block is responsible for which devices. The color of the item may differ if you have already replaced it and installed another one, but with the same value.

Fuses and relays Nissan Qashqai 1 (J10)

Most of the power supply circuits of the vehicle's electrical equipment are protected by fuses. Headlights, electric fan motors, fuel pump and other powerful current consumers are connected through a relay.

On the car, fuses and relays are installed in the rear (Fig. 10.1) and front (Fig. 10.2) mounting blocks located in the engine compartment.

The purpose of the fuses and relays of the rear mounting block of the engine compartment, as well as the circuits they protect, are indicated in the table. 10.1, front mounting block of the engine compartment - in table. 10.2.

Removing the rear mounting block under the hood

To gain access to the mounting blocks located in the engine compartment, remove the air intake

Release the rear mounting block lock.

Lift the mounting block from the housing and unfold the block for easy handling.

Press down on the wiring harness block retainer

...and disconnect the block from the mounting block.

Similarly, disconnect the second block of wires at the front of the mounting block

disconnect the wire block on the left side

and the wiring block at the back of the mounting block.

Using a screwdriver, press out the clamp of the wiring harness block

and disconnect the block from the mounting block connector

By pressing the latch, disconnect the power wire block from the mounting block and remove the block.

Install the fuse box in the reverse order of removal.

The fuses and the circuits they protect are marked on the wall of the relay and fuse mounting block, located in the engine compartment.

Nissan Qashqai fuses

To ensure reliable and uninterrupted operation of Nissan Qashqai electrical equipment, the installation of special mounting blocks is provided. They consist of fuses and relays. Fuses with fusible inserts for different rated currents prevent combustion of Nissan Qashqai electrical equipment in the event of short circuits.

Let's consider the coverage area of ​​protective elements in individual mounting blocks of the first and second generation Nissan Qashqai.

Nissan Qashqai J11 fuses

Sales of the second generation Qashqai started in February 2014 and are still ongoing. In 2022, the Nissan Qashqai J11 was restyled, which was accompanied by changes to the interior and exterior of the body. For the production of the model, conveyor lines have been established in the UK, China and Russia.

Fuse boxes in the passenger compartment
