Not again?!!
Well my cabin heater fan has stopped working again! I posted this up on here ages ago and then it started to work again! But now stopped. I'm starting to think this car has a mind of it'sown

I recently had the same, but may fan still worked on maximum setting. If that is the case you need to replace the resistor pack (behind the glovebox)
If nothing works the blower itself might be broken

- if it works on maximum setting then no contact cleaner will not work - you will need to replace the resistor pack
If the heater does not work at all then get a meter and look elsewhere for a solution.

Hi
Recently had the same problem on my 55 plate 2.8 CRD. I got the fan working again by spraying the brushes, but its only temporary, it'll come back, I ended up doing this a few times. I think the resistor pack is actually electronic on these year. Anyway you can easily check, drop the glovebox door out and unplug the fan (2 thick blue? wires). Put a meter across the resistor pack and measure the voltage while you turn the control **** from high to low. You should get 12 ish volts on full dropping to about 7 on low.
Changing the motor is straightforward, just a bit fiddly, a flexible "gooseneck" adapter makes getting the bolt from right up the back a bit easier.
Warning, remember to calibrate the flaps doors etc when you finish or something could break! You need to calibrate because you have removed the stepper motor to get at the fan. I think to calibrate you hold the power and recycle button simultaneously and turn the ign on, but check, its on this forum somewhere.

Haven't got round to doing this job on the car yet! Decided to service the car yesterday with Mobil 1 0w-40 Tutbo Diesel (New life Petrol and Diesel engine oil exactly the same oil but with different writing on tin) And a MANN filter. She sounds lovely now. Just a thought about this heater fan. Where is the fuse for this? What number is it please? Any pics of it would be a great help guys...
