Very worthwhile stripping it down ![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)

Just bit the bullet and whipped it out and took the plastics off.
Re-soldered a few likely looking dodgy solder joints.
refitted it all and now the blowers work again![Clap](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/9c-clap.gif)

The heater blowers weren't working (on any speed, which is important as if they only worked on speed 3 then it would've been the resistor pack on the blower itself!!)
Drivers window was working intermittently, but thats turned out to be a dodgy terminal in the switch plug.
Mk6 escort btw.

Great stuff,it's been a problem on these cars for years.worthwhile doing now for a number of reasons,can't think of anything worse than breaking down in these temperatures or having to stop a journey cos your wipers have failed or something like that.
