blower not working

corasdad · 12-07-2013, 01:32 PM

my heater blower has just stopped working I have checked my fuse no 67 and that is fine so that only leaves the blower itself, does any body have any other ideas and is the any way of testing the blower without taking it out

Not really no. Will most likely have got hot and melted the connectors. Mine got stuck on minimum speed and fixed itself after a few weeks.

can anybody confirm which other fuses to look at other than 67

never mind its fixed (for now)

its quite likley the motor has seized and just needs some lubrication, if you remove the ac filter on the baulkhead you can just see the motor fan through an aperture on n/s just under the front windscreen, give a squirt of wd40 and turn it on and give a poke with long piece of wire to get it going, if it runs give some more wd40.

Ditto that. I followed the DIY on here last year for that and the fix got me through a year but last week it had to be replaced and was done so under warranty.

Thanks I followed the diy and took the blower out so I could inspect it and wd40 was sprayed it took a while for it to start turning with me pushing it along but it did start so at least I know the blower is on the way out will hopfully last til payday lol
