No heat comes out, or the fan blowers don't work?

If it's the fan blowers, could be anything. Quite common for the heater resistor to blow, but then it should still work on position 4.

when you turn the numbers to 1.2.3 or 4 u cnt hear anything at all normally u would hear the heater fan come on but in my case you dnt hear anything

Resistor pack,plug come off from fan(under passenger side of dash) or fuse.

should i c if the fuse is blown 1st or should i jst buy a new resistor as every 1 has told me that the resistors go on them and check the fuse aswell how comman is it for the heater fan to go and how can i tell if its gone

phil_focus

easy job checking the fuse, go do it now lol

edzybo

ive checked the fuse the fuse was blown so i replaced it and the new fuse blows straight away would that be because the resistor is faulty

Go check the resistor

Usually they have a burned out look to them so should be easy enough to spot

Here you go if you need it

This happened on my 1.8. At first 1 and 4 didnt work, then a week or two later 2 and 3 stopped working.

Quick trip to the scrappy and i took out the switch(the one with 1,2,3,4 on) and replaced my old one. Fixed it straight away.

Won't be the resistor pack as it would still work on position 4, check the fuse as said as it's going to be a power/motor problem if good then check you have power at the switch it's also not uncommon for the motors to sieze hence blowing the fuse if water has got into them.
