A/C and Heater Controls for Nissan Pathfinder

The A/C and heater controls in your Nissan Pathfinder allow you to manage the climate inside your vehicle. When a knob, panel, or control module breaks, you need to find a replacement part to get the HVAC system in your Nissan up and running.

What is a dash control unit?

The dash control unit is the panel that sits on the dashboard of your Nissan Pathfinder. It contains all the controls you need to operate the heater and air conditioning system in your vehicle. Keep in mind that since the Pathfinder has been in production since 1985, there are a variety of panel designs. It is essential to choose a unit that matches your vehicle year to get the right fit.

What is a bezel?

The bezel is a one-piece frame that surrounds the heater control panel in your Pathfinder. The panel itself may have raw edges and exposed brackets that enable you to mount it in the interior of the Nissan dash; the bezel covers the brackets and creates a finished look. Bezels are not necessary for all Nissan Pathfinders, so check your manual for details.

What are the features of A/C and heater controls?

The heater and A/C panel usually features a wide range of buttons, knobs, and dials that enable you to manage the interior atmosphere in your Pathfinder. Specific buttons vary based on the year and model of your Nissan vehicle, but most panels feature the following controls:

  • Temperature: These knobs let you set the interior temperature of your Nissan Pathfinder. Most Nissans use a simple cold-to-hot scale; some feature different scales for the A/C and the heater.
  • Fan speed: These buttons or dials allow you to choose multiple fan speeds. Most Nissan Pathfinders offer between four and seven speeds, and some Pathfinders feature a separate fan speed for the rear of the vehicle.
  • Vent mode: Sends the hot or cold air to different vents, including the windshield, floor, and front.
  • Rear defrost: Activates the heated coils inside the glass on the back window of the Nissan Pathfinder to melt ice or frost.
