Any help greatly appreciated!!

Hi Andy I am haveing the same problem, mine stopped working whilst the car was stood for a while, and I did a lot of mods in that time, fmic and apexi stuff like that, mine works now and again but its for frustrating.
The hazardsw roks but nothing else on mine.
I have been looking for a replacment heater control but not got one yet that fits my car, I did however buy one of ebay but when I got it I found out the connecters on the back are differnt from mine, heres a pic of the unit I have, my car is a 92 type X and this heater pic must be a later model heater control, your more than welcome to try it if its the same as your, if it works then you can buy it from me, if it doesn\'t then just return it and I will get it back on ebay.
I hope this may be your answer as then it mite be mine:) and I just need to find a unit.
I have read that the circuit board get dry conections or something.
If I found out anything else then I will let you know
Cheers
Kool mate cheers... One of the lads is breaking an FD here in Ireland so ill swap it with him and see if it works!!
I have a spare heater control panel, not sure on year, but can check fitments if you give me a clue on what you need.
where are the fuses for this by the way?
Dunno but i checked every1 of them and not one gone... And the 1\'s in the driver footwell are a joke to get to!!
Nearly sure there under the bonnet for the heater.. Cudnt tell u where as my engine has been completely changed!! The box\'s are under the v mount pipes and very hard to get too without taken everything out :mad:
hey guys i had this problem the fans wouldn\'t work one day after my mate had got out of the car turns out theres a plug in the passenger foot well that can come loose if any one needs a pic i\'ll try and get one tomorrow, hope this helps :chat

Mine seems to work now and again, but I do remember after fiddling around near my glove box it worked, then stopped again, and it works now and again after bootig the car so this mite make sense.
Pics please:)
Cheers for the info.
I have just changed the Switch for this problem in a Mates car, When you turned the fan on there was nothing at all, I guess the Conctions in the switch must go becouse i swaped some bits of my car and that got it going.
Hmmm must look in to this.. All my gauges senders are down there and werent workin so i got one of the lads to fix them... He might have cut something... :spank
sorry i forgot to get some pics today the car is at work while the dash is out. I\'ll get some tomorrow on the phone:Thumbs-up
So have the controls apart and pluged in, tried near the glove nothing loose.
I then started to scrape a screw driver over the circuit board of the controls out of despration, and it booted into life.
Turned car off and back on and nothing again form the controls.
localised my scraping on the circuit board of the contols to the chip, if I touch the bottom legs of the chips on the left hand side the thing come alive and it boots up every time I do it. full control, when looking close at the chip you can see brownish area.
May help.
Cheers
I have spent the last hour soldering all the connection on the circuit board and its alive, works every time now, must have been loose/dry connections, I am well chuffed its not nice not having fan or AC controls, maybe worth your while checking you board to make sure it not a similar poroblem.
Cheers
Sweeeet cheers bro will check it 2moro :Thumbs-up
My heater panel stopped working the other day , nothing worked and none of the dials none of the buttons nowt , I\'de had the stereo out the day before so I pulled it back out to check all the plugs at the back , still nowt so I tried the fuse box under the dash even though nothing is indicated for the dash
Well when I pulled the cover off I remembered I\'d taken out the fuse for the rear wiper coz I\'ve removed it anyway popped it back in and everything worked again , its the bottom left one
