On my 95 Altima sometimes I can't change the blower setting. IE I can't switch out of Defrost. When I switch to heat at the feet the defrost stays on and sometimes makes a load tiking noise. Could this be the blower motor. If so how do I repair or replace it? Thanks in advance.

Jay, Have you checked the vent door motor? It's the motor that switches your vent settings from dash to floorboard to windshield, etc. It's possible the gear mechanism inside the vent door motor assembly could have broken & that's why you're blower settings don't change & you hear the ticking noise. Easiest way to locate it is to change the settings on the Heater / A/C Control Unit while you listen around the center console area for the ticking sound. Once you locate the source of the sound, then swap that part out. That should solve your Heating & A/C setting problems. Anyhow, hope this helps... ID

Hi Jay,
I have the exact same issue with my 95 Altima where I had no heat and it felt like the A/C was stuck on - and yes, I've been told by my mechanic it's the vent door motor.
The part is on order (about $80 CAD).
Hope this helps.

the "mode" door actuator is bad and needs to be replaced
