Blowers blowing continuously...

[Scunny_182]

Tryed searching and couldn't find anything.
Got in the car today for the second time as car was 'warm' still. And the blowers started blowing really fast and trying turning them down but nothing happened, tryed on the settings and even turned them off and they was still blowing!?!?

Any ideas cs? Cheers

Have a 182, with the climate control. Is it a fuse or something more serious?

And not really had the car that long really n not had to check the fuses before. A dumb question but where are they? Lol

Any1?

You need a new heater resistor pack.

You can buy one second hand for around £50-70, but as they are a common part to go wrong, I'd recommend buying new, for around £120.

You can fit it yourself in about 5 mins. They are located underneath the scuttle panel, drivers side, next to the windscreen wiper.

£120!!! just my luck!

i was hoping for a fuse or somthing! fcuk sake!

FCUKING CLIO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! only been fix 3 days since my lambda went!

There is a cheaper way (like £3 or something) to fix it if you're handy with a soldering iron, but I'm afraid that is way beyond my knowledge so I can't really help. I'm sure someone else will be able to though.

There is also a company on eBay who you can send yours to, they fix it, and you pay them around £70 or so.

Mine went recently as well I bought a 2nd hand one for £70 from ClioSpares which didn't work (still waiting for a refund!!!), and ended up buying a new one. Currently £190 down until ClioSpares refund me!

Think might just have to buy a new one

If your going to leave it for a while pull the fan fuse so it doesn't burn the fan motor out. But yep will be the PWM pack unfortunately, very common thing really.

 

[Scunny_182]

PWM pack? That the same as the heater resistor pack?

 

[bmh.01]

Provides the same function, its not a resistor pack with a CC equipped car. It uses PWM rather than a resistor to vary the voltage to the fan hence speed.

cheers for that!

sorted now, as the warrently covers that part! saves me some money!
