Blower fan problem

[blackminster]

Hi, I have a mk 3 1.6 berlingo. diesel, 58 plate and I'm currently abroad with a blower fan (for warm / cold air inside the car) that has stopped working on all 4 speeds. A local garage has tested the switch, fuse, relay and resistors and can't find the problem. Any ideas would be welcome.

could it be the actual blower/fan unit

Well if the professionals don't know after an examination, I don't think your going to have much luck asking us lot, lol

good luck anyway, put the windows down until you get home.

It's the resistor pack within the blower. It is a common problem.

Mine was exactly the same and I replaced it yesterday. It's the second time mine has gone faulty. I paid 20 quid off ebay for a new one. Expect 100 plus from the dealer.

As a short term solution to turn off the blower, disconnect the grey plug to it by removing the bit of carpet below the glove box where the blower sits.
