Switch power to the cooling fan and HVAC blower circuits with the Four Seasons Relay 36173. This standard relay is listed as an engine cooling fan motor relay, HVAC blower motor relay and HVAC system relay. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1993-2006 Nissan Altima, 2008 Nissan Rogue and 1992-2014 Nissan Maxima, and is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
A relay is an electrically operated switch. A small control current energizes it so its contacts can carry the higher current that runs a motor or system circuit. If a failed relay is why a cooling fan or blower won't run, runs only some of the time or won't shut off, the 36173 replaces that faulty unit. Four Seasons products are engineered and tested to provide years of trouble-free operation, and the brand brings more than 50 years of mobile A/C experience to the job.
- Precision engineered: built for the vehicle-specific applications it is cataloged for.
- OE-style molded connectors: the connectors are molded in the OE style.
- Quality contacts: designed to provide proper conductivity through the switched circuit.
- Vehicle-specific applications: cataloged for a wide range of Nissan and Infiniti models.
Whether you need a 1993-2006 Nissan Altima relay for the fan or HVAC circuit or a relay for another listed Nissan or Infiniti model, see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of applications.

It is an electrically operated switch that lets a low-current control signal turn on a higher-current circuit. It is listed as an engine cooling fan motor relay, HVAC blower motor relay and HVAC system relay.
Can I use this as a 1993-2006 Nissan Altima starter relay?
It is cataloged for the 1993-2006 Nissan Altima as a cooling fan motor, HVAC blower motor and HVAC system relay, not as a starter relay. Check your vehicle's service information to find the relay position you need.
Which other vehicles does this relay fit?
Popular applications include the 2008 Nissan Rogue and the 1992-2014 Nissan Maxima. It also fits many other Nissan and Infiniti models, which are listed in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
What are signs this relay may need replacing?
Signs include a cooling fan or blower that does not run, runs intermittently or stays on. These symptoms can also come from a fuse, motor or wiring fault, so diagnose the circuit before replacing the relay.
How is this relay installed?
Disconnect the battery, remove the original relay and install this one in the same location using its OE-style molded connectors. Consult the vehicle service information for the relay's location.
