Default Will fail M.O.T on 2 things

Good morning,

Just wondering if anyone can help on 2 little problems please.

1 - Can any one tell me what colour wires the rear r/h cluster should have to its numbers on the clip please?

2 - A bit more tricky - no air out of heaters, not even a mild cough! fuse not blown, connections seem all good on both behind dash and in under bonnet, any suggestions please??

Cheers,

Dumpy

Cheers for your help!

Revers lights fine, i've got a dodgy indicator and fog combination, i've tested the supply and continuity all seems good, think there must be some rubbing on the edges going on!

I thought you had to have your heaters or some form of demisting for the front window for some reason!!

Supply at heater motor is fine - any one got any more suggestions as to what else to look for??

Cheers,

Dumpy

if the rear lamps are flashing a little like a christmas tree when the indicator is on, try cleaning up any earth wires or making new ones?
