Summer Check On Aux Heater

[marinabrid]

well i thought it be a good idea to bridge the terminals on the temp sensor and see if the heater would fire up after months of none use.

a good idea in case its cream crackered to giet it sorted it the dry rather than wait for the cold.

i thought it wasnt going to but then it splutterd and #*"ted into life with a billow of smoke,

just thought id pass my sunday doings on.

i also got some mesh and tarted up the upper and lower grill and now the wife says it looks cool, i can have a special treat tonight.

ive had some cider instead. hic nite all.

Where's the temp sensor?

[marinabrid]

its a small round sensor about the size of your thumb end on a bracket attached to the wiper likage arm in front of the pollen filter just unclip it from the wires and bridge the contact wires with a small mini fuse and hey presto if its working your booster heater will fire up at all times till the water is hot even in summer.

Thanks for that.

sorry to bring back a very old thread but,

I've had a look for the sensor for the aux heater, is it tucked right back under the scuttle panel? if so how do you get to it?

Late reply, I know, but....

 

The sensor is clipped to the wiper arm mechanism under the bonnet on the nearside.
