Hi everyone, new to the forum, but with what appears to be a common problem, heater not working, (my fault). I have a 98 right hand drive.
I replaced the control panel as a couple of the sliders had broken off. Couldnt see how to remove the multiplug so cut the wires with the intention of connecting to the multiplug on the replacement. However in doing so I allowed two of the wires to touch resulting in a spark and a brief roar from the heater motor, (yes I know I should have disconnected the battery). As a result the feed to the control panel and the thick red wire from the motor are now dead.
My first thought was a blown fuse. Am I right in thinking that the only fuse for the heater is in the under bonnet box? According to the sticker under the lid, the heater fuse is the chunky 30A one, (2nd from the left), but this is lighting up my test lamp ok, as are the other big fuses.
Can anyone suggest what I may have blown up? I have removed the dash panel so am in sight of the motor housing.
As regards the fuseboxes, does every van have a different one!!?? I have looked at the ones that have been posted on the forum and they differ from mine and mine differs from the one in my handbook. According to my book its the 3rd edition but the fusebox diagrams and lists dont match what I've got.
Apologies for waffling on in my first post but any advice would be greatly appreciated especially with winter coming.
