Heater Blower Fix

[Willhay]

My heater blower isn't working, i have to say i am a technical novice.

There is voltage to the controller for it, but i dont know what figures i should be getting.

Any help at all on how to diagnose where the fault is greatly appreciated.

Hi mate, a bit late but the ignition barrell is a common fault on these models. i had the same problem with an r reg xantia and was advised to change the ignition switch ... this cured my problem,

Right, here goes!!!!.............

 

For months I've been 'wiggling' the ignition key in the barrel to get the bloody fan to kick in......

 

IT decided IT wasn't playing anymore 'wiggle' games two weeks ago and hasn't went since.

 

This aint funny now that winter's rearing its cold head up here in Scotland.

 

I spent 9 hours with a cold friend in a cold friggin' garage today trying to coax ITS heater fan back into life!!!!

 

We resorted to running a wire (with an in-line fuse) from ITS fuse box area and a wire direct from the negative on the battery terminal.

We put a switch on the live wire and after another bit of 'wiggling' (of the switch) IT eventually fired up............"Hmmmmm......maybe the switch we are using is faulty" we said.

So another switch was fitted......nothin'...NOTHIN'!!!!!

I can hear a clicking noise down at the motor but it won't come on.

 

 

HELP!!!!!!!

An entire thread dedicated to the problem.

I myself was in your situation a couple of weeks back, its generally parts of the ignition switch burning out, usually there is enough and a stable current to run a relay to divert the power around the switch.

Anyway, take a look at the link.
