Heater was optional in the Standard model for most countries. All USA models came with a heater (by law).

Heater Inspection

Heater core:

  • Leaks (before removing, check for leaks in passenger area, under carpet, on firewall cardboard, etc)
  • Flow (ensure it is not plugged). You can test similar to radiator blocked test
  • Clean out debris in exterior of core

Hoses: Check for cracks, overly soft hoses, tight clamps

Flow valve: ensure it opens & closes easily through entire range. Also check linkage for easy and complete movement (before taking apart)

Air ducts: Ensure they are clean and connected properly

Electrical: Ensure fan spins at both High & Low speed

Coolant Thermostat: Test

Core

The heater core is like a small radiator. The heater fan removes heat and blow it into the passenger compartment.

Part Numbers

  • 27013-H1001 CORE ASSY-FRONT HEATER

B210 is 27013-H5000, so a different part.

Heater Hoses

The heater hoses are 1/2 inch inside diameter hose. However, the original Nissan hoses were thin wall. Standard 1/2 inch hose is thick wall and will work but has to be forced through the firewall grommets.

Also, the original Nissan thin-wall hoses had a braided cover like this:

Original long heater hose is braided. Compare to the rear heater hose, which has been replaced with a plain hose.

Removal

Heater was optional. If you wish to remove the heater, how is it done?

  1. Drain engine coolant
  2. Remove heater hose from the fitting behind the cylinder head and plug this fitting
  3. Remove heater hose from the lower radiator hose tee. Plug this fitting
  4. Remove heater from inside car

You can either remove the fitting from the back of the head & put a plug in there, or get heater blank off rubbers & plug them both. You can get these from local Auto stores, it is 1/2" heater hose.

Or the simpler way: Run a new longer hose from front to back of engine.

Discussion: A-series heater removal

Wiring

Heater fan is powered by the 15A 'W' fuse in the fuse box. W is Wiper/Washer/Heater.

14924.jpg

Regular

When IG is on, heater fan motor is always "Hot". But the motor is not grounded until the heater switch is pulled out.

22237.jpg

Fan switch Position No. 1 is OFF
Fan switch Position No. 2 is low-speed via Resistor
Fan switch Position No. 3 is high-speed bypassing Resistor


1972 USA

For 1972 USA models, the heater and switch operated differently. Now the motor fan is directly connected to Ground via B wire, and HOT is switched via a new type switch.

Fan

  • B: ground
  •  ?: High speed
  •  ?: Low speed


Switch

  • LW: 12V from Fuse Box "W" (Wiper/Washer/Heater) via LR wire
  •  ?: High speed
  •  ?: Low speed

Illuminated

Some 1200s have illuminated dashboard controls, like the B210.

1973 USA

The wiring is opposite of other 1200s and also includes to lamps for illumination.

When key is at IGN, fan switch is "Hot". Position #1 is OFF. Position #2 connects to the fan resistor (in the fan enclosure) for low-speed mode. Position #3 connects directly to the motor for high-speed operation.

PROBLEM: The wiring diagram does not show how the fan Black wire is earthed.


Fan (Heater)

  • B: Ground?
  • n: Low speed
  • n: high speed
