Heater fan not working?

[reepers13]

so randomley other day it stopped on all levels... still illuminates and you can hear it when changing direction etc


bit of research tells me it could be the fan/blower resistor that sits under the glovebox???


is thiscorrect?


if so how and why has this happened?


will a resistor card from an s14 fit and work?


many thanks

i take it you have checked your fuses?

 

[reepers13]

fuses are fine

Firstly s14a resistor don't fit the plug just tried it.


Then I unscrewed the plastic cover hoping I could see the resistor and pull it out like an s14 but I was met by this

No easy way for the resistor to just pull out like s13/14


Now see the plug has 3 wires yeh but several pins. S14 has 4 wires going into plug.


A little further up and two of the blue wires have been joined together and then they come out as one thus giving total 2 blue wires and 1 black wire into plug...


Anyone able to shed some light please, really need to sort this!

for anyone suffering from this problem also (im sure i saw someone else was) please check your 60amp fuses in engine bay, should be yellow... this was my problem and now fixed and it shorted out because i shaved the loom slightly skidding

The fuse I'm referring to above your post is not something you'd think to check. It's not even easily identifiable to what it's for. I found out its one of two 60a fuses for interior.

First thing I checked was the fuses in driver footwell which are fine

Anyway problem solved
