DODGY HEATER
« on: November 20, 2004, 01:15:36 »
Just thought i'd appeal to the brains of our multi-talented Mud club...
For some strange reason the fan that blows out warm/cold air is a bit fussy on when it wants to work , i've checked the wiring its fine. Haynes manual says check the relay but i can't find the right one, could you guys help as its getting bloody cold.

My heater had a problem. it would stop and start on it own but if it stopped if I pushed the fan control quickly from fast to slow several times stopping on fast it would kick in for some time. Turned out to be the switch I did take it apart and it did work but only for a few weeks had to get new one in end.

Its normally the contacts on the blower switch, thay wear or get clogged up, as a quickfix, try spraying some wd40 using the little tube with it into the switch gear, work the switch back and forwards, see whats happens, if it was a relay prob you should be able to hear it clicking if it is dropping in and out

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

Dave

If it turns out to be a faulty switch, give me a pm.  I've just replaced the whole blower assembly on my 200tdi 'cos it had a poorly motor.  I have a whole spare blower assembly (minus motor, of course).
