heater fan on '99 Passat
My fan is not working. Checked the fuses, they're fine. What else can I
check to avoid high cost of repair? |

Maybe the fan, the resistor, the wiring, the dash controls.

I have the same problem with my 95 Golf.... checked the fuses - they're
fine. the weird thing is it started working again for two days and then it stopped..... (just when it got cold here too!!) The lights behind the ventilation controls don't work either unless you give them a good whack, and the knob for the fan control used to get extremely hot to touch... haven't checked lately because the fan quit working a couple weeks ago... Like 'sal' I'm trying to avoid a costly repair..... it sucks being a starving student. Thanks in advance!! lilmissgiggles "Woodchuck" > wrote in message ... > Maybe the fan, the resistor, the wiring, the dash controls. > > "sal73110" > wrote in message > lkaboutautos.com... > > My fan is not working.

Had this problem twice on my Golf (14 years old), then I unfastened the
blower motor by a twist action and guessed that the resistor pack to vary the motor speed was duff. There is a thermal cut out. Balls to all that so I found the power wire and bridged it direct AT THE CONNECTOR side (power in) to the highest speed setting. So now I have only high speed at position one on the switch. I also cut in an inline fuse. The motor takes 12 amps or more. A Year back there was a thread on this point plus info where to buy the thermal cut out from Maplins to do it all. If only one speed cuts out it is one of the resistors. Full speed had no resistors. -- Derek Wealleans Remember:- remove the anti spam |
