The resistor will have gone.

 

You can by pass it, with a bit of wire. Sounds a bit cowboy ish I know but it works. ANd, its much cheaper than buying a new fan.

 

Its quite easy to get the fan out too. Take the shelf out under the glove box, lie on the car's floor and look up. Press a few clips, twist it and it'll drop out.

 

Happy days

Thermal fuses/resistors are only about 80p from Maplins - for the sake of not overloading the circuit if the motor's on it's way out, I'd rather replace a fuse... ;)

 

Though it might be that the metal strips behind the fan speed knob aren't making proper contact - that's what it was on mine...

 

As far as the temperature goes, if your passenger footwell isn't flooded (heater matrix gone/bypassed), then you may have an airlock in the cooling system

 

Not that this has been done to death or anything! :lol:

Yep, closing as this has been extensively covered!

 

Use the search:

 

heater AND setting and resistor

 

Or something similar.
