General Heater NOT blowing

[Baggie Si]

Hi all,

Got a problem with heater that it's not working and in this weather that's not a good thing, the car is a marea weekend 2.0 20v with a/c. Am thinking problem might be motor but any help would be usefull.

Thanks all.

hi, could the speed governor Resistor pack maybe be burnt out, right where the connectors fit to the casing as is a common fault.

Have you tried turning the fan speed to full? For a certain fault it only works on full but i cant remember what the cause was.

Hiya.

I just had exactly the same fault like you describe.. a little heat still there BUT no blower.. re miff121's message - he's spot on.

The part from fiat is approx £180 so get to the breakers and you'll find one no problem for a fiver. In the passenger footwell you'll see the fan motor casing. Behind this there is a fag packet sized object with 2 connections on 1 side and aluminium cooling fins on the other side. 2 screws hold this up in the footwell. Remove these and the offending item will fall down into the footwell or into your pocket It may be better to even just cut the wires instead of removing the connections as one of yours may be partly melted and you might want to replace it..

Hope this helps you - ALL I CAN SAY IS WHAT A RELIEF TO HAVE HEATERS AGAIN!
