HEATER PROBLEM (NOT PEUGEOT)

[Gary406]

my mate just bought his new car,

the heater fan settings has a setting of 1 - 2 - 3 and 4

it only works on 4

1 - 2 - 3 dont do sh*t

what could this be

[Doggy]

Rogered switch or resistor(s) if used.

o dear,


yeah i think they have a reostat that controls the voltage to slow the fan on 1 - 2 -3
setting 4 is full volts ie like wireing up stright to battery

the reostat is just a resistor so you mab be able to replace it with one from maplins but that means soldering, so could be easier to get one from breakers

[Gary406]

were is this usually found ?

[jamjar1383]

were is this usually found ?

the wire's come ut of the stat then goes into the fan, so it will be behind the glovebox

a kia shuma, mmm tasty:

I remember my dads audi 80 had something like that, a 4 speed fan, 1,2,and 3 offered smaller increases in speed, then 4 was Jet engine strength, a bit of a suprise.

day whoo, they were rebadged vauxhalls i think when they started out, and the matiz was based on designs that fiat rejected. That really isnt a great selling point, something fiat didnt like.

My mate as Got a woo Matiz they have been renamed the "pot noodle Gti " he only drives it when he realy realy has too and when its dark,
ithink it must have about 50bhp as its noisey when climbing a low grade hill,

hes left the keys in it a few times hoping someone wouid do him a favour and steal it
but its always there when he gets back

pot noodle gti i love that name. On the leaving the keys in the car well that reminds me of a skoda joke, how can you tell the skodas that were built by thieves and the skodas built by normal workers, the ones built by thieves had no parts missing.
