Hey

With it raining a lot and the car steaming up quite easy I've noticed that the fans aren't working on my heater.

It still changes from hot to cold and back again I just can't change the speed at which the heat comes out etc.

Could it just simply be a fuse? If so where and which one?

If not any other ideas?

Cheers

Jay

Well done for finding something. Maybe I wasn't searching for what you know the problem to be??

Because "heater fan blower" as vague as it was only returned threads about replacing the heater matrix.

Easy to find something when you know what you're looking for.

If you don't wanna help next time don't post because that link would have been a perfectly helpful first post.

this happend to me it was the heater motor under the passengers footwell near the ECU!
took 10 mins to change and then the fans were going on full power :)

you can hear the heat changing from hot to cold so what i did is bought a new control unit thinking it was the blower switch that had it but no so yea buy a new motor unit only paid like £15 for mine...

this is what you need

Have a look at how many times I have posted in those threads mate before you say I am not helpful please and if you think I deserve the negative rep go ahead and click the button. Maybe I get fed up trying to provide an answer to this question, but if you think there is something someone can say "its that" to, let ME know what it is please.

I am sorry my first post was not helpful to you, I will try and not put myself in that position with you again.

No all am saying is I did search.

The words I searched didn't provide me with an answer to my question.

You've read/posted an answer to this before so a quick copy and paste of a link would have helped massively.

Whereas "try searching" really didn't.

I'm new to this forum but not new to forums. So I know to search before posting.

Was it brand new?

I just took it out and plugged it back In and it worked :/ don't know how many times I'll have to do that before it stops again though.

Cheers :)

i have a similar problem, no controls work (hear the vents moving when i press the buttons) no air will come out of vents (hot or cold) and no lights on the AC / AIR CON button, is there a fuse that controls all this?

I replaced the brushes in mine after cleaning it all up. Now a year later I took it out and one side wore down so far it broke apart and now the motor is trashed.
Please help me locate a new blower motor. Mine has the automatic air conditioner controls. And I’m located in America so it’s very hard to find parts. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I know you can test your thermostat inside a pan of water with a candy thermometer. But it's easy to just replace it if you can find the right one. I personally squeeze all the coolant hoses with the radiator cap off until I am satisfied there are no more bubbles. hmmm

Right now I am looking at and comparing all the blower motors offered by 4 seasons to see which ones we can use as a replacement for the discontinued blower motors on our Starlets.
