Fans not working - any ideas?

Postby Crummock » Wed Feb 04, 2009 6:25 pm

Can anyone help please? Started megane (Dci 100 '04 plate) tonight to find fans not working. I have checked the fuse and this is fine. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks

do you mean the internal heater/blower ?
1. power - check fuses.
2. does it work on setting 4 but not 1,2 or 3 ? - this is the resistor thats gone.
this is behind the panel under the glovebox.
3. not working on all settings - might be the blower motor itself ?
this is behind the glovebox.

There are many useful drawings in the Manual PDF files pointed at in my message in Links.

Whom am I kidding? Nobody reads the manual... :-(

In particular, look at p.3 here:

The resistor block 8 is accessed from the passenger footwell without any tools (UK models).

Thank you for all your help. In the end i bought a Haynes manual and sorted the fault ( loose connection on the fan ). Best £20 I have ever spent
