my 182 blowers don't work
Summary: resistor pack works, blower motor works, fuses fine, relay replaced - what do I check to confirm the loom is broken?
bought the car and the resistor pack wasn't plugged in, I plugged it in and it blew on full blast constantly, so I got on here and diagnosed it as faulty resistor pack.
bought a new resistor pack online, fitted it, then had no blowers at all.
bought a new cc panel in case this was the problem - no change
bought another resistor pack from a different place in case I bought a dud, still not working
went to a scrappy and bought another cc panel and resistor pack that were working, and still not fixed.
found some bodged wiring from the cc panel to the air distribution motors under the centre console, replaced that as well - tried every combination of all the resistor packs/cc panels I have - still not working.
rechecked all fuses in case something had blown since installing new bits - all fine.
bought a new relay in case that was the problem, still not working. (if someone could post a picture of their relay that would be helpful - the one in my car is pink and all i've seen online are yellow so I have a feeling it might be the wrong type of relay)
I've got a multimeter and the 3 resistor packs i've bought look to be working, the original one is defo broken.
If I short pins 1 and 5, the blower motor runs so that's not the problem.
What do I check next?
Is it the loom? if so, which part of the loom do I replace?
I can use a multimeter to check connections if someone points me in the right direction!
any help much appreciated, i'm at a loss for what to do next, if anyone can help or show me some wiring diagrams that would be awesome!
cheers
Joe
