steve200 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Need some advise. Car went in for a cambelt change and brake fluid service and got it back with the fan no longer working. I have searched and found a lot of people have mentioned theirs have broke before on setting 1-3 and works on 4 max. Mine isn't working on any setting. Today I have dismantled the dash and checked everything is plugged in fully behind the switch, fan and heater resistor. The fuse is ok. To rule out the fan I connected it up to a battery and it spins perfectly. Would the resistor stop the fan working completely as people have mentioned it still worked on setting 4 when theirs needed replacing. Any advice on what else to check please?

When my resistor went it did only work on 4... Do you have a multimeter? measure if any volts are going to the resistor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a multimeter? measure if any volts are going to the resistor. Checked the fuse related to the fan which is 49 I believe. This seems ok and I even tried a different one with no luck. Could there be a different fuse? Checked a few combinations to see if power was at the resistor but couldn't get a reading. Cant think what else to check.

cj1 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 So if there's no volts at the resistor when the fan is turned onto level 4, have you tried checking that the knobs in the middle are working properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve200 Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Not sure the best way to check this, can see voltage at the switch. But all looks good and new. Can see it making contact when turned etc. Might order a new switch to go with the new resistor I've ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj1 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I have the heater control panel I can send you, it worked fine on my car. also got a resistor but it seems you've ordered one anyway :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve200 Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I've ordered the resistor only. Have you got a pic of the control panel. Guessing they are all the same. What do you want for the control panel? Just noticed you have a Golf R too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj1 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Will get one in a bit! Yeah in blue! What colours yours? I'll message you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
