Hello and welcome with your nice car

With the EC lamp when the LED is lit up, the Air con is off, the rest button allows heating in the passenger dept if you are parked up and waiting for some one

You could have a problem with your heater fan motor, does this run OK on all of the different speed settings,,if the carbon brushes are worn then the incoming air may be turning it so that it can start up sometimes

 

[elwaynio]

yes

the heater when it decides to work it will work on all settings.but heat still comes out just very slowly after a while off driving.it feels like a loose wire or fitting but i have no idea.it worked a few days ago when i bought the car ?.is heater fan very expensive . thanks

 

[television]

No you just change the brushes,,could there be water in the heater box from all of the rain ?. feel the carpet on the passenger side to see if it is wet / damp

First with the car stationary,just turn on and see if the fan works at all speeds, and not just the slowest, if it works all of the time but only on the slowest the the regulator will have gone

 

[elwaynio]

no joy

fan not working at any speed but warm air will come out very very slowly after a good run ps keep red light ec on for heat is that correct and off for air con(cold air) thanks

We can deal with the correct use of AC later when the fan motor is up and running.

The first thing to do is to get the motor out, and that is 390 in the link and it comes out from under the dash

Hi,

How did you get on with your heater motor? I had the very same fault. The heater motor had a mind of its own. I would switch in on and it'd do nothing then i'd be driving along and all of a sudden it would spring into life.

Fitted new brushes in the motor and its all good. Nice and toasty. Need a heater at this time of year. (could do with snow chains too)

New brushes are on ebay
