Keyo 47 Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Hi if any other members advice would be grateful My fan blower is working on setting 1,3 and 4 , 2 there is absolute nothing. The last owner had the heater matrix done and also a brand new heater motor, also noticed 3 repairs in the last two years on resistor pack, all the rapairs were carried out within two years. I have changed the heater dials round with no success. Is it possible that they purchased a fan motor with only 3 settings. What do you guys think will fix setting 2 on the fan control . maybe the contact on the dial ? Thanks Edited January 22, 2019 by Keyo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nelik 10 Posted January 22, 2019 Maby a faulty resistor or the electric connector on the fancontroller is cracked. Had to change mine when it stopped working on the 3rd speed setting. Someone had broken the plastic. I manage to rebuild a new unit from a seat controller from the same era. It's like lego. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyo 47 Posted January 22, 2019 That sounds a nightmare not even going to atempt it myself ! Can you get a new resistor pack as they seem to be different the ones on ebay. ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nelik 10 Posted January 22, 2019 I went that route first. But it did not help, and I bought the resistor on eBay. It ain't to hard to remove and change the controller. The hard part is to find a controller in good condition with no broken plastic for the wire clips. And it need to match the old one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyo 47 Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Did the resistor pack fit off ebay, thanks. I take it your Rado VR6 is the late model. When you say controoler do you mean the handle you pull of or the bit the handle slots on to ? Edited January 22, 2019 by Keyo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nelik 10 Posted March 31, 2019 Did you get this sorted? I got this mixed up. I referred to the round late style controller. As you mentioned 4 fan speeds I thought you had the new style and not the old sliders. But now I learned that there is both 3 and 4 fan speed sliders from VW. And i meant the whole controller unit, it's possible to rebuild the new one round style at least. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyo 47 Posted March 31, 2019 I did sort out the problem it was the late control switches, the contacts just need a bit of tweeking so they touched the contacts on all four settings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nelik 10 Posted March 31, 2019 Great! Keep fight Corrado problems, one at a time :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyo 47 Posted March 31, 2019 Cheers I just used a cotton ear bud cleaner to lever out the contact half circular strip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
