Heater Blower

[kjd4000 0]

Reading the haynes manual it seems to say that you have to take the complete dash out just to get to the blower?

now my blower isnt working, i took the front of the dial face off and there is power so i assume its the blower, now i just need to get to it but in this weather taking the dash out isnt on my list of favourite jobs to do. is there a better/easier way?

 

Any help in this matter would be great

Cheers Kieran

its under the dash in the passenger footwell. i was under the impression you could get to it easy enough though its been years since i last looked at mine so i could be wrong

Yeah it's easy; from the passenger footwell look up, (the fan is black and round and about 7" across) undo the three screws holding it in, disconnect the wires and give it a wiggle to get it loose from the sealant and out it drops. Doesn't take long.

Haynes is a bit funny about the heater in general, I think they say you have to take the dash out to change the heater matrix too and you simply don't, it's not a hard job really.
