Heater Controls/lights Etc

[Dorchester]

I am sure this is a simple problem, they usually are to the knowledgable :lol:

 

On my 2001 TDI the heater controls/panel above ashtray has the following probl;em.

 

The only knob that works is main blower, the hot to cold, outlet function do nothing. At night the backlights on this panel do not work. However the fan function does work.

 

Heater on full hot onto feet at moment as cant change.

 

Is there a common fuse or a wiring loom plug that controls all these functions?

 

The fact that so many functions in one panel are out suggests a lead problem or fuse.

 

Any help on this one please

Its easy when you know how!! Will have a good go at this on Saturday to stop my feet roasting ( with size 12's they got very hot lol

 

Having checked my radio manual NO codes written in!! Hope I can get some help on that one , but understand the security issue.

 

prefer no radio than hot feet anyway.

 

Thanks once again Gazza007

Your very welcome.

Let me know how you get on. :D

you will need the security number of your radio inorder to obtain the code. pull the radio out, the code is located on the righthand side of the unit.

 

take the security code to Ford, they should provide you with the radio code, hopefully FOC. Alternatively, you can download the codes online - google free ford radio codes.

Today is a Good Day!! :lol: :lol: B)

 

Just an update for you all. Gazza007 was spot on with his help and advice.

 

Removed trim around switch unit, came off easily using a knife blade to lever in the smap gap.

Having removed torx screws , whole unit popped out. Pulled off plugs , sprayed with contact cleaner ,refitted and NOTHING had changed!

 

Resprayed and put on and off plugs a few times . Hey presto

Normal service has resumed.

Frauds profits are sadly declining B) B) B) B) B) :lol:
