Title: Heater motor ?
Post by: kells on 11 April 2010, 16:42

internal heater (Fan) dont always come on if you click on to settings 1 or 2, but if your switch to full speed they kick in and keep working if you switch back down to setting 1 or 2 (although not as powerfll as they used to be0

is this a resistor problem or motor problem, anyone had the same prob??

I'd change the resister first matey. Do a search, IIRC from what I've read it's to the right of the upper glove box. :)
