Heating elecs

Post by 60dart »

As promised in my intro, here is my question...... Is there a fuse connecting the display unit of the outside temp and the blower? My outside temp display has always worked and when the blowers stopped the other day, so did it. I have checked the fuses to the right of the steeringwheel, no joy, they appear to be n tact, im hoping this is an easy fix as nothing in denmark is cheap ( apart from me, but im an import) any help would be appreciated, thanks matt

Made me laugh :cheesy:

Blower died in my old D8, they do fail and need replacing unfortunately. Mine wasn't fitted with an exterior temp sensor though, so I doubt it's related. Can you check if there's voltage at the blower motor terminals?

Popped out for a Danish, by any chance?

Went for a weekend in Copenhagen many moons ago - it was reasuringly expensive, but I do recall seeing quite a few drunken Swedes staggering aboard a ferry back home, (even dearer in Sweden, apparently)!

MY bro's D8 failed in a similar way, bur his was only a burnt up power connector on the base of the blower, which we bypassed.

im going to bypass the lot tomorrow and check if the blower itself works, might rig up a temp thing so i can use the car. i think its strange that the outside temp display went at the same time.... cant see in the owners manual where the fuse for this display is either,. i will yank the big ones out under the bonnet 1 by 1 tomorrow also, its now about -4 and black outside, dont want to leave the fire.

copenhagen is extortionately expensive. i think the last time i went for a beer it was £7, after i got up, i went home.

Re the outside temp sender...there isn't a separate fuse for this. It's just a two wire circuit from sender to BSI, (blue connector, terms 20 & 24.)

Could still be related to your fault, just saying there isn't a separate fuse that's all! :wink:
