Doblo Heater control panel Fiat Doblo Van 2010

[Asdeane]

Hi,new to the forum and looking to see if anybody can help with my problem. Recently the heater control panel on my Doblo Van stopped working, no heater fan working. I stripped dash down to get access to heater control unit to make sure something like the multi plug hadn't separated but all connected. I bought a replacement unit to test as the control unit has a circuit board and connected the replacement. Still no control. The panel lights on left side illuminate but only if I give it a tap so will assume maybe the Bulb is a but temperamental. Is anyone able to give any advise or support... currently I'm using a cheap as chips 12v fan to give a bit of warmth in these chilly days. Any fuses that I should maybe look at? Thanks in anticipation. Tony.

Hi

If its classed as 'Climate Control'

Where you select a numer in Degrees C..

Then look in the PUNTO EVO section..

The panda 100hp is similar too

Is this a recent issue with a known vehicle..
Or a niggle on a recent purchase?

Hi, thank you for reply. Van is 2010 Doblo and has no climate control. Purchased more than 1 year ago and just recently stopped working.

Thats actually VERY good news

Your controls are just bowden cable operated flaps for control of airflow

And a low tech 12 volt supply to the fan blower motor

Lots of parallels with the Grande Punto

Just a quick update, thanks for the links and advice. Followed your link and pointed me in the right direction. Loose connection onto the fan unit behind Glovebox. I can confirm my Doblo Van is now super toasties. Thanks again.

Good to hear

If you get 5 minutes please add a couple of photos and a brief description

As you will have seen there isnt much direct info for the later vans

 

[Asdeane]

I absolutely will, struggled with this and the tips you provided were instrumental in fixing the problem. Thanks again.

Hi, Ive got a simular issue, how did you remove the glove box to access the fan unit ?
