Heater Fan

[Guest scoobs]

Hi, hoping someone can help with this one. Jumped in the car yesterday to find heater will on work on fan speed 3 and 4, on 1 and 2 there is no response. I assume the fuse is fine or there would be nothing at all. Reaches heat OK. This is on a 2003 1.8 LX with manual aircon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Think this is a common problem and probably needs the fan resistor block replacing. A search may give more info.

Hi, continuing on this issue I have has sign in problems so although this seems to be from a new member I am scoobs...lol.

 

Have found and removed the offending resistor but have been searching for a replacement and can only find the unit with green connection, mine has grey connections and looks completely different, can anyone please suggest a stockist for the part i require.

 

If it helps the part has the following ID / Part nos....Valeo PA66, internally KR2464

 

Thanks in advance, Shaun

Hi Shaun, I have been looking at this as reckon got same fault. Only have basic air con in our 2003 2.0 hdi lx estate, and the quick searching I've done found some useful stuff on the Yahoo C5 owner's site, from jontom I think was his name. Anyway, look in his photos (click on photos on the lhs of screen, his are last photos on final page), I reckon he's cut off the connector off the new resistor pack and spliced on the old connector block at a guess, remember vaguely reading something about this when doing some on-line searching a month or so back. Check his written posts anyway, am sure it will all be there and please let us know how you get on, it will definately help me. Sorry to be a bit vague, but really busy on other stuff at present hence no time to search properly. Regards, fatgut.

Cheers buddy for the advice, as it happens I've managed to locate the original part after numerous messages to breakers on 'fleabay'. Got a resistor winging it's way to me for the princely sum of £20.00 including the postage!!! Result :rolleyes:

 

If you still need the part I could e mail a link to the breakers I used. Just let me know.
