The heater in my 2006 Nissan Xterra blows cold air even after warming it up for 30 minutes, this is really a nuisance during the winter months when its freezing. It's getting unbearable to drive the car. Any suggestions please!!!!

Xterra Off Road 4.0L V6

  • Manual transmission
  • 24,855 miles

Heater Fan died on 2006 Xterra when it was -30 degrees Celsius outdoors and Nissan said it would be almost a week before they could pencil me in to get it fixed so until then they suggested I "continue to drive it and just bundle up".
