Fan stuck on full, but all climate control functions work?

[udi]

Just wondering if this is the result of the resistor pack transistor failure, or is it something else?

I can use all climate control functions, however the fan is always stuck on full when I turn the car on - and even though I change the fan speed settings (and the display changes) the fan stays on full and I can't turn it off, even when I turn the climate control off the fan stays on.

I'm happy to replace the transistor myself (found on ebay and am happy to solder) - but perhaps my problems is different - since those threads seem to start with people not having the fan working at all?
Or is stuck on full still just a transistor failure?

Thanks

Nope thats a control pack issue as per usual.

I replaced this due to the symptoms you described. (on a ph2 172)

Thanks, so replacing that fixed the problem?

I believe that 'pack' contains this transistor which is the part that actually fails (from searching on here):

Can anyone confirm?

i have the same problem with mine the fan will not turn off its stuck on full fan

Hi
Just got the exact same problem with fan on full all the time (even with unit switched off) and trying to find a fix. Been pointed towards the resistor/transistor problem and replacement, but believe a messy fix with potting.
Is the pack the better, quicker and easier way to go for the money?

Isn't If the transistor has failed then you either get full speed or nothing at all, no in between?

when mine went I had no fans at all until I bridged 2 terminals on the resistor plug then they came on full..
I got a transistor from ebay and replaced myself total cost under 3 quid.. make sure you have a good solder sucker or wick for removal of the old one

Use one of the repair companies on ebay, they cost about £24 and you get a guarantee.
I swapped the transistor on mine twice but they didn't last long, so bought a used one!

Ianboom - funnilyI lived in Shirley a long, long time ago. But being on the other side of the world the changeover would take too long.

You made the right descision-I'm jealous!
