Technical heater fans not blowing

[wilko1977]

Hi there,just wondering if anyone can help,i have a stilo abarth and suddenly my heater fans have stopped working,temp controls and everything still work fine but the heaters do not blow out?

Sounds like the fan unit has gone......Had the same problem a couple of months back

 

[wilko1977]

is it a big job to replace the heater unit,if it is that which has gone.Where are the fuses for the blowers?

It all depends were you get it done, fiat wanted nearly 800.00 todo as the claim the dashboard has to be removed, in the end including the part i had it done for £234.00....There is a place in nottingham that does it. You would need to check your manual for were the fuses are located.

If you are interested in the place in Nottingham let me know and i'll give you the details

Heater fan switch is controlled by one of them resistor thingies so it may not necessarily be the fans at all also could be faulty fan switch its self or a faulty relay I would first check that you have voltage going to the fan before you go paying out on a new unit

have checked all resistors/fuses/relays all seem fine,is it worth checking the pollen filter.
If so,where abouts is it?
Cheers Ian

Pollen filter shouldn't affect the working of the fan electrically but if you want to change it check out the stilo guides for removal and replacement [good old decks]
