hi guys im new to this forum and ive been looking through the comments about the fans only working on 4th speed. how can i be sure that the heater blower hasn't packed in instead of the motor/ fan resistor? please help, would be appreciated . by the way i have a 2007 Corsa D sxi 1.2

ive not got any resistors but if it turns out to be the switch at fault let me know as i have a few spare ones at the workshop i can let you have for next to nothing

Yeah that's it's you have to take all the plastic off on the left of it to get to it

Had this on my Corsa changed the resistor and worked perfectly to get to it take pollen filter out and you will see it on the right you can also get it from the passenger footwell to unplug the wires

A bodg recomended by ford because they cant be botherd to actually fix it. If you are any good soldering etc you can change the resistors.

I said TOO hot, not hot.

Letting it hang on it's wires is a fix recommended by ford.

The whole point of the resistor pack is to get hot.

what car?

this is common on fords. Resitor is inside passenger footwell, behind glovebox.

When you fit a new one, let it hang on it's wiring dont put it back in it's housing they get too hot in there and burn out.

That's the thing dude, i've not had anything off recently, it just seems to have stopped working, which is why i'm thinking it could be the resistor pack corroding or something. I'll have to have a dig around tomorrow and see what i can find unless someone can point me in the right direction.

Happens a lot on Pumas, never heard of it on Corsas, I'll have a spare one if you can locate it.

did you connect everything back up in its correct sequence after?, i.e. did the swivel switch go back in the right way?

i put mine back in 90 degrees to the factory fit position so it was always out of sync witht he numbers on the dash

Heater fan doesn't work on speeds 1&2 but does work on 3&4, only just recently started doing it. I've read that it could be the resistor pack? Am i right in thinking replacing this would solve it? Also, is it located in or around the pollen filter, cheers peeps
