Heater Fan Not Working

[susrah]

hi all

 

sorry if this subject has come up before

 

im new to this blog stuff but have a problem somebody surely has come across

basicly my heater blower fan has stopped working have got hold of two second hand hegdehog resistors but both of these dont work the rear blower works fine could anybody suggest if there could be another solution

 

my car is a 1998 ford galaxy ghia x with digital heater display

 

the hedgehog resistor i remove from the car was a vw 1j0 907 521 the two i got hold of are vw 357 907 521 which came out of a vw sharan

 

has anybody got an ideas or help

Hi and welcome to the forum

Assuming the fuses are ok there is a relay above the hedgehog that may be the problem, Vag com will probably store a fault code for this.

hi there thanx for the reply have had my hand all above the fan assemble but cant find a relay my handbook puts a relay above the fuses my galaxy has both front and back controls on the digitail display

 

many thanx

Hi have sent you a plan of heater, number 7 is the relay, only suggesting it may be the problem as it has come up on here before, you may be able to confirm this by running Vagcom on Auto HVAC

Not tested one off the car but i'm sure (Mirez) will know if it can be done.

 

Have found another pic, shows it a bit clearer and is RHD will be on next post

hello my galaxy friend

 

have found my t.i.s.ford disk and like your diagram it shows the reply but i stil ant find it is it possible i have a odd ball were the relay is somewhere else or are they all standerd and in the same place

[susrah]

hi there

 

i used the ford tis disk and your diagram and i cant find the relay but i have found what i think is the clip assemble that would hold the relay but no relay there

 

have you any ideas

Hi again

Sometimes the TIS is misleading and has been known to show wrong info, so lets try another way first check fuse 22 is OK if it is make sure there is 12volt present at that fuse, if thats OK go straight to the blower motor the red and white cable should have 12 volts with ignition on, if there is 12 volts there the relay in position R19 in CJB is probably OK.

 

see how you get on and let me know.
