Resistor pack or "hedgehog" is the likely source of the problem. Might be resolved by removing and cleaning contacts, more likely its failed and needs replacing. Theres info here about getting to it, i think you remove the glovebox but the search should tell you.

wrote wrong at the end, fan just works on 3-4 and thats it, i dont why i "cocked" up my writing so badly
ill look into it

I thought that was what you were getting at, the above reply is still valid that being the case though, start looking at the resistor pack.

I agree with BrianH it's a common fault. Remove glove box and you should see it attached to the side of the heater matrix. Normally red or green in colour and only one screw which is amazing for a Galaxy!!!

 

Do a search for repairing it. Some members have managed to replace the fuses/resistors.

okay, i just got into looking on, had a buisy couple of days, i think i can see it through a glims in the glovebox, but i have no idea on how to open it, just feels like im destroying something in there constantly when im trying to move something
any video or picture on how to remove it?

From memory there is a piece of dashboard trim to the left of the glove box. This is where the retaining catch is located. Remove the piece of trim and you should then be able to let the glove box drop down. Once you have done that you should be able to remove it.

 

Just hope my memory is still ok. B)

I remember removing mine not so long ago. I'm sure with it open you pull it at the bottom. It was a nightmare to get back on as well.
