Heater only works on 4.

[Povey]

Since I have owned the car the heating has only worked on setting 4, so after searching to fix a different problem I found part of my answer for this!


The heater resistor has failed causing it to only work on 4th setting so I've brought a new one, which is where I now have another question:

Where abouts in the passenger footwell does it fit?
Any advice would be great :-)

I'm doing the same to mine tonight, I'll stick a picture up later if you still need it.

this may or may not help you but my girlfriends clio had the same problem, all I had to do was unplug the resister and clean the pins

That would be great mate in still waiting for the part to arrive so hopefully by the weekend :-)

Here you go mate, mine is actually behind the glove box.
Its the silver component with the black plug and the 4 cables going into it.
Just unplug it and undo the retaining screw and it comes right out.

[dodge_vdub]

No worries, Yes mate, working perfect again

:-( massive fail changed it over this morning and no change still only works on setting 4, have I replaced the right part? I searched heating resistor on eBay and come up with a black clip with a metal plate and a green thing on it? It plugs in behind the glove box, what did your part look like?
