Just wasted 50 quid on resistor pack

[mcyates]

Bought from Cit-Ren Ltd and it still doesn't solve the problem of the fans not working.

Wonder if the fan itself is fucked. On monday the fan came on for about 30 seconds, only one speed, and it was making a clicking/ticking noise as it was turning.

I hate cars.

Try wiring a constant live to the fan to test it?

I shorted pins 1 and 5 on the connector and tha fan apparently should be on full speed, but I have nothing!!!

 

[iimushroomzii]

Must be the motor fucked then!

wonder how much they cost and how much to fit. Unless its eas to fit and i'll do it myself.

Depends where you buy from new thee not that cheap but check as prices change swopping is easy enough

It is quite easy to fit. When my climate stopped working, I took it out to check it and it worked so I assumed it was the resistor pack.

The Haynes is fine as a reference, apart from the fact that on the 1x2 you don't need to remove all the wipers as you have on the other models (which is a pleasant surprise) but if you have had access to the resistor pack, you should know that already (thinking about it)

Sounds like a goosed fan matey, try looking on a ebay for as second hand replacement.... make sure it works tho
Or PM JoshHatton iirc i think has a cliospares place

Just check the voltage and between 1 & 5 I get, well it starts at 11v then gradually starts falling let it go to 6.95 volts and pulled the multimeter off, it would have still fallen more. Between 1 and 2 I had 12.1 volts. Then shorted 1 and 2 for some reason and blew a fuse. Check all the fuses but they are all ok next to the passenger door. I have no voltage at pins 1 and 2 now. Going to take the fan out soon.

The fuse I blew was a 30amp one near the car battery lol.
