claypole1360 6 Posted November 7, 2008 Hello everyone, 1.9 gti 1988 The heater fan works when power goes to it, We don't think it is the resistor card, It is not the fuse, it maybe the switch. should the turny dial switch thing go all the way round on the recirculating side(anti clockwise)? How do I get it out to look at it? Many thanks in anticipation, Claypole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick 3 Posted November 7, 2008 The fan doesn't work on the recirculating side anyway, does it work going clockwise? Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
claypole1360 6 Posted November 7, 2008 The fan doesn't work on the recirculating side anyway, does it work going clockwise? Nick Works in neither direction. When I bought the car, the owner said that the resistor card was Kaput, however, two new cards later and no fan working. Claypole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick 3 Posted November 7, 2008 Ah righto... when you said "works when power goes to it" I thought it work clockwise. So what have you done then? just run a 12v feed to it? Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johny105_y2k 1 Posted November 7, 2008 was a quik fix for MOT for me, allthough i dont think they are testable anymore, i stand to be corrected. pull the knobs off and there are 2 screws holding the cover on pry it(after removing the screws) off and there are a few more screws behind the cover iirc. pretty straight forward tbh. johny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johny105_y2k 1 Posted November 7, 2008 yep, might have to get a little screw driver to get it out, you'll need all 3 out to get at the actual board Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
