Heater Blower Stopped Working? Which Resistor To Buy?

Postby simba7 » Thu Mar 15, 2012 10:04 am

Hi Everyone,

My heater started to work intermittently as of a few days ago.

Yesterday this changed as now it does not come on at all. The AC light comes on however when pressed although i dont hear it come on in the engine bay.

I have searched these forums and it does say to change the resistor.

I have searched for a resistor and have come to the conclusion there are 2 types in existance for the Megane II.

Can someone help me on which one it might be.

Here is one

and here is another

I have a 1.6VVT 54 plate.

Thanks

Great! Thanks For That.

Can i ask how you fitted it?

I have taken my glovebox out and had a look but couldnt really find the resistor in question.

I did however find a cable hanging loose. Not sure if it is part of the car or not.

Any ideas on what it is for?

Hi there,

My heater blower has stopped working 3 times and each time i have taken it out and given it a good clean with WD-40 and it has worked again, i thought it was the resistor too but replaced it and still didn't work, apparantly the motor can get damp, on your scuttle panel below the windscreen there should be two drainage holes one on the left and one on the right, these can get blocked and cause water to flow down into the air duct for the heater?

They (the resistors and motors) are also prone to thermal damage. The cause is the cabin filter being blocked with debris such as leaves etc. Remove the element (panel next to the clutch pedal) and introduce a hoover. You will be amazed at the crap that comes out! Replace as necessary (opieoils.co.uk) provide excellent service packs. I don't receive a commission!

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!

Thanks for your suggestions guys.

I put my car back together thinking its all working now and the next day it stopped again!

I think im going to have to buy a resistor and change it.

I did attempt to unscrew the existing resistor but it was quite difficult to reach the top screw.

If anyone has instructions I would be greatful.

Thanks
