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?

think this may be the cause, the motor isnt getting any power. any idea where the other end plugs in?

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!
