[ajs52]

Hello Everyone. I have just got a Idea and the heater blower is not working. I was wondering if someone could point me into the right direction were the heater resistance pack is please. Its a 2004 1.4 with ac and has a electric display for the fan speed. Cheers in advance.

hi,
and welcome to FF,

the Idea is pretty much a Punto 2/B underneath

so this should be good,

Hi varesecrazy thank you for your help. I removed the fan motor and when you apply voltage direct to the motor it starts fine but when installed in the car you have to give the motor a helping hand to get it going. Any suggestions what the problem could be. Cheers.

poor connections, dropping the voltage,
try and put a meter in the plug that goes into the FAN Motor,

suspect you've got less than 5 of the battery's 12 Volts

IF it's low,
take out the plug for the "resistor pack",
thats the usual bit that gets cooked,
