Heater blower fan location

Hi everyone

So heater fan blower has stopped working.

I've checked the contacts on the slider seem ok.

Any ideas were the fan is located I've tried searching under the centre section of the dash but not sure what I'm looking for

Any pointers greatly appreciated

absolute bu*tard to get to behind "glove box", in front of firewall (see where coolant pipes go to from the engine bay), good luck!

Re: Heater blower fan location

Thank you

Luckily it's not got to come out

Issue is the earth wire has corroded off. Some one has bodged it in the past

Phew an easy fix for a change ?

Re: Heater blower fan location

hard to get to? not that badm you can do it all from under the dash.. glove box out to so you can see, and its 3x 8mm screws to drop the motor.

i did install air conditioning to mine, so i have 2x blower motors! its like you are in a wind tunnel. the 2nd motor sits back from where the bonnet pull is with a duct going behind the steering column support, and yes that is a bit tight!

Re: Heater blower fan location

This has become my next job.  I don't know if it's packed up or has some wiring issue.  Going to blast the switch out tomorrow with some wd-40 and see if that fixes it.  If not, well it's check the wires, then move to the blower. 

My van has air con, not that I've ever used it, so will there be a second fan or was that specific to your build style, John?

If it has aircon it will have 2 blower motors. its possible that only one was working to start with and now that has failed.. however do try cleaning the slider switch up. thing is though they usually fail gradually.

Re: Heater blower fan location

It's acting weird.  So it hasn't failed apparently, at least I don't think the issue is the blower, per se, as it suddenly burst into life yesterday at full power.  At other times it seems to run at different levels, almost like as I rev it and the amps increase, so does the fan motor speed.  This week I am going to try and check the wiring on both the switch and the blower unit.  I have this nagging feeling that the issue is electrical.  Maybe a bad earth or something else like that.  I( also wondered if the battery was the issue, but fans really shouldn't be pulling that sort of amperage.  I don't use the air con, I think the last time I depressed that switch was the day i bought the van, just to test it worked, but I've not used it ever since.

Re: Heater blower fan location

if you jiggle the speed slider control does it change?
my money is on the speed selector slider acting up. you can take it out and clean it but its more easy to just replace the whole unit. being all electrical it does make it more easy. there will be loads about if you hunt for one.. old taxi repair places, general scrap yards, facebook, ebay..
