Heaters not working
« on: 21 December 2009, 11:40 »
Morning All...

Hopefully someone can help..

Was driving around last night and the heating started to smell bad.. like a burining smell.. thought nothing of it.

About an hour later it cut out.. thought it was strange.. i went around a tight roundabout.. then it kicked back in for a while..

Now it has cut out again and will not work at all.. i have check all fuses nothing... I have took off all the covers and everything is still plugged in and attached.

Anybody got any ideas as its really cold!!!

Cheers  :smiley:

could be the resistor pack thing packing up, otherwise double check all connections+ put some copper grease on them

Try unplugging it from behind the switches and then follow the wires to see if any have split or even fried. i hope thats good advice?? haha im sure i'll be told other wise!  :grin:

i will go have a look now as im on lunch :)

Could it be a relay or anything.. and that would be why it is burning?
