Title: Golf GTI 16v mk3 2L 1994 Internal fans/blowers
Post by: jbh-sn on 22 April 2012, 19:32

Hi guys,

For some reason, I started driving the other day, switched my blowers on and.. nothing...
I have checked the fuse and that's fine - I know it could be a number of things, but just wondering if there's anything common some watchful person picked up on before I start looking further??
Thanks!

try changing the resistor

located under passenger side dash, easy to do

Yeah resistor is the most likely culprit. Put it on speed 4, if it works then it's the resistor.

Thanks guys, I will check the actual blower, I don't think its the resistor, as it doesn't work on any speed - including 4
