Heater fan switch

[Puman Being]

noticed today my heater fan works on 1,2 & 4
but when switched to 3 it turns off

Is this a new switch job,or will good old wd40 do the trick?

oh,and how does the panel with the switches come out?

any ideas?

If it's only 3 it's not working on, then I doubt if it's the balast resistor that's gone as then only 4 would work. I'd try WD40 1st.

If you take your radio out, you'll see two screws into the panel. I know those ones, not sure about the rest. My guess would be take the ashtray out and they'll be some there?

You can see where the top two are in this egay link:

Cool,cheers Dal
I know how to remove the ashtray,
but how do i move the sliding bit which the ashtray & lighter sits in?

 

[Dal]

Just get it all the way out, and give it another sharp tug - lifting it slightly I think, or is it side to side?

Not that difficult though.

You just need to undo the two screws that have already been mentioned, then the panel lifts out

Yup - I felt underneath mine when I got to the car after work. Nothing under there



Let us know how you get on.

I pulled mine out when chaning it to blue. its easy. there is a mechanical part that adjusts the heater flow postions you have to be a bit delicate with, thats all.
