Blower Problem

[mememe]

Hi all, Im new to posting to this forum but have been reading for several months, and it has saved me a fortune.

The latest problem is the front fan blower will not work. It was working but only on speeds 3 and 4. My first thought was the 'hedgehog', but i can not see it any where behind the glovebox and was wondering if the hedgehog was only on cars with climate control. Mine has got manual aircon.

I have tried to work out which fuse it is but can't see any that have gone. Please can someone confirm which fuse it would be. I have also read that a relay could be the cause or possibly burnt out wiring and ideas where these might be.

 

Hopefully i've included enough info. oops nearly forgot its a 2000 mk2 1.9tdi

 

Thanks in Advance

Simon

Hi and welcome to the forum

Yes the series resistor (hedgehog) is adjacent to the blower fan usualy coloured red or green and behind the glove box, fuses for blower are 19,22,33 the blower relay is above the blower fan.

Thanks for the reply, how big is the 'series resistor (hedgehog)'. I have seen pictures of the hedgehog on this forum somewhere, but cant see it behind my glovebox. the only green thing there is a 1.5" x .25" multi plug. Is this the right thing for my manually controlled aircon system.

If anyone has a picture of the location of this resistor it would really help me.

 

Thanks

Here is the resistor pack (green) LHD picture

thanks for that, It just looked like a multi connector to me or is the resistor pack what the plug plugs in to. How long does it take to get to the Resistor pack in the rear, I believe its the same, and would like to have it working for the morning.
