Heater switch gone! I know its the switch because the fan and air comes on and works as long as I keep a little pressure on the switch. Anyone know how to get the facia off so I can change the unit. Its a Multijet 130 Camper chassis early 2008. Thanks Des

I have taken the radio out and removed the two screws, the panel is now loose but I cant get it out. Any tips. des

can you post up a pic to refresh my memory

How! Can take the photo but how top I post it Thanks Des

Hi
If this is the a/c switch it is part of the heater control panel, the bad news is you have to remove the dash to fit it as the new one comes complete with cables. Good luck.

Ha! Ha! it would delay the production process to long. My switch has a plug on the end which goes to the loom.

Would still be under warranty in Australia! Fixed for free.
Sorry to mention that!

Oops its a 2007 not 2008. The Chausson Model is Flash 08 and I keep forgetting. THe warrany ran out in March.

Now I have access to the small panel with the switch on it. You dont ned to remove the dashboard, just the panel containing the clipboard. I cant dismantle the actual panel. I can loopsen the frontpiece but it wont come off. Any tips

Thanks Guys. Its all done. Switch is £41.00 Retail.
Heres a quick guide. Remove both air centre vent assemblies, they just pull off. Remove clip board if fitted, few obvious screws. Remove centre console, few obvious screws. (If you have big hands life is made easier if you revove the pael with the power plug and cig lighter, screw under drink holder mat the it pulls out) then up plug the swtich remove two self tapping philips screws (all other screws are star screws) pull out the switch. New switch in and reverse order.

where there any signs of burning on the wiring?

No, these switches often go, at least thats what fiat said. There is a copper pieces that comes loose internally. The swich will rattle if this was the fault. I knew it was swtitch as keeping finger pressure made it work. Des

first one i have known to go.

normally when a switch/bulb goes (in fiats case) the wiring has overheated aswell.

I expect fiat are talking worldwide. When I opend the switch, as I had worries, the evidence confirmed physical breakdown of the switch itself.

Hi, sorry to resurrect this old thread.... this seems closest to my problem and I didn't want to post without at least searching the forum history first!


I initially thought my X250 fan woes were the plug-in resistor, so I swapped that. When I did, I noticed melted cable sheath on the black wire and the plug was slightly deformed - I swapped the plug too.


That job needed doing, but my problem remains.



The fan only works intermittently on 0 or 1 - I don't know how high the fan goes, but on 0 it is still pushing air with a decent wooosh.


I don't have aircon.


When it's working, the dash lighting for the fan/heat dial iluminates with the headlights, when it's not, the lighting goes out too. The fan direction dial lights up fine.



Jiggling the switches makes no difference - it works or it doesn't. I wonder if the dude who drove this van before me attempted some percussive maintenance on the controls when the resistor burned out.



I'm thinking a loom or the switch, but before I start tearing the dash apart, I thought I'd better ask the forum if there is a best first place to start?
