My 2012 murano is doing the same thing as yours is . We've have driven it 138000 miles with no problems until now. I'm going to do as you did by same procedure. Thank you for posting this. I ordered the parts on Amazon. Thanks again.
I have a 2010 Maxima, the AC just stopped working all of a sudden on the highway. I'm assuming its the clutch because it doesn't engage when I turn the AC on in the car. The layout is pretty much the exact same for the Maxima although I wasn't able to locate the AC relay under the hood, there's just a single fuse which I found and it isn't blown anyways.
Great Video and instructions. Made the change job easy. Only issue was the connector for the clutch. Why did Nissan use such a weak connector. Pins bent so easily and then broke.
I Couldn't find the page in the shop manual as shown in the video. May I ask what section it is in, as well as the page number. Also the instructions requiring thirty activations, did they come with the coil, or was that in the Nissan manual? Lastly, thank you for the video; it was very helpful.
Thank you for your quick reply. HA-37 in my manual, i.e., 2010 MURANO , is the start of the compressor remove and replace section. However, the diagram is not present, and I didn't find anything regarding exercising the clutch. I went to 2012 Murano manual on NICOclub.com; the HA section was missing. The 2011 and the 2007 Murano sections were the same as the 2010. Are you looking at a third generation Murano manual or maybe a Maxima manual?
@@galinstan5603 I had a 2012 Murano built in 2011. I sold it though, still have the factory manual in PDF from 2012 if you want it that's where it showed the diagram. I think the exercising part isn't that important though - I would just run the diagnostic sequence several times, and that should do it.
I used a 1/2" impact wrench and 10mm impact socket and it came right off without having to hold it in place. It's torqued to like 14-ft-lbs which is relatively light, so to put it back I held the rotating part pretty steady with my arm and tightened it with the other.
@@PedroPerez-dm5xe My car is a 2009 murano so I'm worried that the 10mm nut and the 3x inside philips screws might be tough to break free. Plus I will be using hand tools in my garage =p. I could live without AC but the wife and kid hate riding in my SUV during the summer without it..haha..and I don't want to pay $$$$ for a new compressor
@@jonbe9 you can get a corded impact wrench for $30-35 at HF or WMT, use it then return it - just make sure it's spinning counterclockwise, and you definitely need the pulley puller from HF, can't do it without that tool, these tools are worth the $ for this job. For the retaining screws, the trick is to first spray some WD-40 on each, then hammer each lightly using a pointy Phillips screw driver to unfreeze them, then push on the screwdriver in as you turn it, this worked for me, good luck!
No, it’s a 3 jaw gear puller from Harbor freight. I didn’t see anyone mention having any issues with using this tool. Also you can see it supposed slide out in the factory manual diagram I show in the video.
Timeless video. Still serving the public. It was very helpful in preparing to do this job myself. Thanks!!
Thanks for the video. Helped me get the job done fast! Bought the whole assembly for about $50 and followed what you did here.
glad it helped! Great riding car!

Get an impact screwdriver for those coil screws and works great on brake rotor screws. it has saved me so much headache!
Great video... thanks for doing it. I was not aware of the test.. thanks again.
From Australia, just replace the same part in my wife’s car, thank you for this very helpful video, highly recommended 👍👍👍
Glad it’s helping folks all around the world!
This helped me diagnose the issue with the test you show. How did you know that? Doesn’t matter. Great video!! Thanks
Thanks for the video. I was able to fix mine with your help!
Glad it helped! It's a really nice riding car!

Would you happen to have the sight where you bought after market part
The coil part is not part at autocrats stores, or dealer, you have to buy online at e b a y or something like that.
Awesome video bro ! Hey did you do gap adjustment ? If so do you know the size ? Should I use a gauge feeler ? Thanks
Very good,
Thank you very much this helped so much
Glad it helped! it's been over four months since I changed it and AC is still blowing ice cold!

It's under HA - Heating and Air Conditioning. Page HA-37. The instructions for the exercising the coil come from the Manual too. Glad video helped!

how easy did the clutch center 10mm bolt come off?

Is that a special 6inch 3 jar puller? A mechanic said if i dont use nissans itll push the shaft into the ac and break it?

V P thank you
I found the entire assembly for $45 shipped. That bearing did not look or sound good on yours
Yea it did, I saw the assembly for sale too, but wanted to keep the oem bearing. AC was still working when I sold the Murano over a year later.
Buen trabajo te felicito 👍 👏
