Heater control knob Rheostat cicuit broken Mk4 Fiesta
As above, my heater is not working correctly it will not change from Hot to cold when I turn the Dial.
I know through testing (and having had to renew it recently) that it is not the Heater Control Valve. I have been told, by a good mechanic friend who looked into, it that it's the rheostat. The part behind the Heater temperature knob. Ford only sell the whole Console and they start at about £100 for the basic one (which mine is).
I have had it apart and it is possible to change the Circuit board inside the console.
Does anyone know of the best solution? Can I get a circuit board from another Ford? Does anywhere sell the Boards minus the whole console?
Any help hugely appreciated.
Many thanks.
Rob
