heater blowers, were intermitent, now packed up all together
![:)](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/smile.png)
my fans had been cutting out fot a while but now they've stopped althogether, i've checked the fuses and all of them are fine, where is best to starty looking for faults as i can't make head nor tail of the haynes manual diagrams
![:o](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/shocked.png)
also even with the heater on cold it still seems to only produce hot air, i don't know if this has any bearing on any of it??
cheers for your time

P.S Don't try to fit the fan through the bulkhead - it is not possible!

cheers for the replies guys, have just checked the switch and thats fine, the wires then go from this into the top of the casing of the heater, it looks like a big job to get it out so will have to leave it for today :?

It is the cylindrical thing that the wires from the switch go to on top of the blower (you can see it clearly from the engine side if you remove the plastic leaf guard.

Could try wiring the blower direct to the battery (with an inline fuse for added safety) and see if it runs ok. If it does, you need to check the switch and the resistor pack. If it doesn't it's new blower time…

sorry mate i did read that but there seem to be 3 wires going to that resistor pack so am u7nsure how to do it, i just taking the guard off now so hope fully once thats off it'll be a bit clearer.

There are 2 wires that connect to the blower itself. One is brown (i think) - use this connection to connect to the negative terminal of the battery and the other to the positive terminal.

i take it this is new fan time then right?? will this come out through the engine bay or is it a case of ripping the interior out to get to it??
gutted was hoping it'd be a loose connection orsomething, ah well

do you have to take the lot out from the inside or will the fan assembly come out from the engine bay if i was to remove the wiper etc for clearance??
