mate was complainging about his heaters not working. He said the fan cuts in an everything on his frst, however when he puts the interior heaters on you get nothing, just the revs drop abit as if the heaters have been put on, and its draining power?

any ideas on whats wrong?

cheers

so he turns the heater on and nothing?? check the motor behind the buckhead.

[RScrew69]

yeh, puts the heaters on, but nothing comes on, the revs drop he goes abit as if the heaters are on.

any ideas?

[RScrew69]

someone must know what he can do to sort it, it seems like the heaters wanna work cos the revs drop, but why don't they work?

anyone else had this problem before? can't find anything in the search forums aswell.

Anything or ideas on similar or how you'd go about fixing the problem folks?

nice one

try the interior fan 'resistor' under the paravan
this is under the bonnet .. where the interior fan electrical connection is made..

replace the resistor .. and i guess your problems are solved..

interior fan resistor? not heard or seen this before, and whats a paravan?

cheers

First of all (-: i'm from holland.. so some things are called differently in english .. ..

the interior fan is .. just like the window whiper mechanism in a compartment under the bonnet.. in dutch we call the piece of metal with the vents a "paravan" (it can also be of plastic with other models/types of cars)

ok .. back to the topic.. the resistor i'm talking about is a coil-resistor.. and has several connections..

your interior fan has 4 positions .. 0 = off .. 3 = full power..

this resistor controls the speed of the fan. and is (indirectly) controlled by the switch of the interior fan.

had a look on my fiesta turbo and it looks like a bum to get to, i'll let him know. how much is the resisotr approx?

cheers
