Hi.
My heater fan is not working today. I have had a look under the bonnet but it does not seem to have a fuse for itself and as far as I can work out everything else is working. Is there another fuse box appart from the one in the engine bay? Worked fine yesterday.

Paul.

hey bud i have had this problem tracked it down to a plug in the passenger foot well near the ecu, but you dont have to take any panels off! it can be knocked off quite easy with a tall passenger and some \'\'creative driving\'\':Nono!

Thanks. I have had a look but there is nothing unplugged. Have not had anyone in the car with me this week. Scared em all off :)

Is there a fuse for it?

Oh!!! does it work in any position??? The reason I ask is with the toyotas, the resister burns out & you only get the full power setting...... don\'t know if the 7 is the same??

No - nothing. Will have a play in the daylight. Cant see that taking the dash out will tell me much though.

Noticed this today (after checking the fuses again):
If I move the blower dial then the revs still shift slightly (10rpm or so for each click up) the same way as when it worked so can I assume the problem is between the switch and the fan? Can fans just stop?
