Hi all, just bought an 04 2004 Fiat Multipla 1.9jtd in very good condition.
I have 2 problems with it...


1 the heater blower doesn't work on any setting. I have looked all over the net and on here but everything posted with information about a fix doesn't tally with what I'm seeing even when there are pictures attached!"
I have removed the centre surround cover and can see the fan motor with wires going to it but they all seem OK, I have taken them off and checked the connections but all seem fine with no melting or wires broken (am I looking in the right place????


problem number 2 is the gear knob is very very stiff / tight to move is this a common problem to if so is there an easy fix
thanks in advance

For the heater fan issue;
Fan connector plug

For the stiff gearchange;
Stiff gearchange cables

Thank you so much for your attached articles, after finding the offending plug which was melted I chopped and reconnected the wires via spade terminals and.... I now have a fan blowing on all speeds along with an outside temperature displayed in the speedo clock.


just one more question I have read that the plug melts as it overheats due to the pollen filter being blocked! where is the pollen filter located ?? as I think this is my next job before tackling the stiff gear box


cheers once again

Underneath the plastic trim outside the car passenger side under the wiper arm
It's a long black plastic rectangle with rounded corners that just unclips
there's a phillips screw underneath at the front of another smaller rectangle cover
Remove the screw(careful not to drop it)
Remove the rectangle cover and slide out pollen filter

. . . Remove the rectangle cover, slide out the pollen filter, and throw it in the nearest bin where it belongs. Don't bother fitting a replacement.

Just another of the many examples of car makers finding solutions to problems that don't really exist . . .

Bit like the stupid anti return valve on the washer line
Wtf is that all about
Wats wrong with a normal t connector

Wasn't aware there was one,
I suspect it's there to stop the fluid draining back down through the pump, so the tubes are always full (no delay in use).

It was?
