Dead Heater Controls/clock Problemf Fixed!

[paulh]

After months of scratching my head after the normal water in the footwell issue, I have finally found and fixed the problem!

 

Remove the side trim from along the passenger footwell (and be sure to fix the washer pipe!)

Remove the brass plate from the bottom edge of the seat (notice the corrosion in the picture, this is where the fault is)

Peel back a load of the wiring covering. Inside will be four red/white wires unbelievably joined together by twisting and covered in a bit of gaffer tape.

The wires in my case had completley corroded away. Remake the connections properly. I've used a terminal block.

Recover and refit, job done! (and remember to fix that bloody washer pipe ;-) )

I've just had this with my heater, checked the fuses and all seemed fine, so removed the heater control unit and re-fitted, and working heater again! Symptoms were only the blower was working, otherwise the heater was dead. The heater didn't illuminate when the head lights were on and you couldn't hear the servos move when selecting different blower directions and temp out of heater vents was the same.
