My '92 Sentra has 178K on it and still runs great, and no, it was not
"lovingly maintained" by it's previous owner. I suspect the rust will
make it un-inspect-able in the next year or so, but it doesn't owe me
anything.

The first year I got it, the blower resistor failed. I bought a new
one, locally I think, for about $25.00. Personally, I would not bother
with a used one, you (or somebody, maybe me) may still be driving this
car in five years. It's not a lot of work to change the resistor, but
still.....

The switch, I can't say. I would put in a new resistor and see if that
fixes it.

I had the same problem with
my Frontier . E.Meyer was right
on with his advice .
I would not waste time with
a used one as it could also be
no good .

if you're ordering online,check out new parts prices,too.
there may not be that much difference,especially if you can get aftermarket
parts.
I saved hundreds on a MAF sensor for my 03 Sentra SpecV by looking around
and finding the sensor itself without the housing that most places include
as part of the MAF unit. $400 for the sensor and housing,$80 for sensor
alone. Crazy.

Thanks for all the great tips folks. I'll have to find the time to do it
now, but at least I have an avenue to hopeful repair. :)
