Something not connected,  fuses, resistor?

Have you fully filled the system? Made sure there are no airlocks?

That wouldn't stop the fan spinning though would it?

matrix replacement is a dash out job.... sure you put in the control cables correctly?

the plug that goes in to the resistor in the blower motor housing isnt plugged in anywhere on the other end. Anyone know where to plug it?

I meant there is a big brown connector block where a lot of things join up to.

But if you are now saying its a white block connector I'm afraid I have no idea!
I would suggest speaking to Boneybradley but he may not respond to a PM at the moment as he is sunning himself!

Ok mate, its the one thing i didnt take a picture or make a note of and its pretty much the reason i did it in the first place.

anyone have any idea how much a garage would charge if i took it to them to plug in?
