Right just before summer (luckily) my girlfriends heater blowers have stopped working and I'm stumped I've changed the resistor and checked all the fuses I know of but still no luck...... So the final problem has to be the blower unit right?

Is so does anyone know where it's located? And is it a pain to change also have I missed something else it might be? Because it did random start working for about an hour once? Help

It's located behind the dash board! Easier to take the dash out IMO. It could be a loose connection somewhere or it could be inside the unit itself

Is it possible to do it without taking the dash out? Can u get to the screws or clips?

Hmm I've messed about with all wires and it doesn't work so guess it must be the blower motor :-/

It's possible it's just a right shit to do. I'm not to sure where it'll be placed but I'm assuming it'll be in the centre of the dash. Take as much trim as you can out to get a little room and light in there, and you'll more than likely be upside down with your head in the foot well the whole time

Hmmm think ill have a go hopefully I don't break more bits lol, yea I thought I might end up being upside down lol thanks for the help

dont take the dash out!! you get the heater motor out from under the bonnet! take the wipers and scuttle panel off, remove the top plastic part of the bulkhead off and you will see the motor there

Yea that's on normal Ka's ain't it? Different on streetkas?

i wouldnt have thought so there isnt a great deal of difference between a ka and streetka tbh

It's a good job u posted! I was sure it was behind the dash! That makes the job so much easier

Hmmm ill have a look under the scuttle panel then

SBT83

Let us know how you get on

smerth54

Hopefully I find it :-D

SBT83

Well if I'm wrong then I apologise!

smerth54

Nah it's fine scuttle panels easier to do than hunting inside the car
