maxb 0 Posted December 19, 2008 hi all, just been trying to fix the non working fan, the resistor has apparently packed up and the previous owner made a bypass, so when i touched 2 wires in the glove box it would put the fan on full blast. i just bought a resistor off ebay and replaced it, i noticed that the replacement had less pins than the one i took out (connector spade things).... so i put it in anyway ... and it doesn't work... any ideas? ive checked all fuses and none are burnt out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goliath 94 Posted December 19, 2008 are the two wires in the glovebox put back to standard so no longer 'bypassing' the resistor? You could have bought a dud resistor card? Or maybe the wrong one if you say there are a different number of pins (although i thought they were all the same) Try tracing the wires and see if any are broken, not sure what else you could try??

maxb 0 Posted December 26, 2008 yeah i thought that all the cards were the same.... but there actually different by the looks of it. the replacement was 1 pin short and when i plugged it in i got no sign's of life atall, so i gave the old one a clean (connections) and put it back in, and the only sign of life i get is a clicking noise (sounds like jumping sparks) when i turn the fan knob on the dash. does this mean that ive bought the wrong resistor, and that the origional is definately FUKT?

Tandoh 17 Posted January 12, 2009 Where abouts is the resistor situated as i think i have the same problem Cheers Luke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damien 22 1 Cars Posted January 12, 2009 the block with the 5 wires is the resister, the block with the 2 wires is the fan. they are both in the passinger footwell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
