Heater Fans

[mesobitchy]

yeah.... i think i may have a problem.
i didnt notice it untill garry pointed it out.

the fans come on and off at will, it will show on the climate controll that there are set to X-speed but noththing comes out of the vents...
then after a while WOOOSH! they burst into life only to swich off again.

thinking maybe this is a loos wire??? if so where to start looking?

Have you checked the recall?

[richard_v6]

hi might have wrong end of stick but when climate controll is set in eco it wont come on till engine warms up and it will change speeds when idleing then speed up when you set of again is this what you mean?

[Roberto]

Any chance you have it set to AUTO?

[mesobitchy]

its only been a recent thing this stop start as it worked fine before. i cant say when it started doing this.
we have tryed setting it in manual or auto, on different speeds, hot and cold engine, and it comes on and off at will.
im sure garry can explane a bit better when he gets on a bit later.

It does sound like the recall on the JDM models? The heater wiring at the fan has an issue.

[mesobitchy]

we are on about my v6 and not the vr4.
that bloody thing is still off the road awaiting garry to fit the new things to it....

[mesobitchy]

now the fans have packed up all together.
were is it i need to start looking and what do i need to rip out to get to them to fix it?

[Nick Mann]

I'd check the connections on the back of the climate control panel. Especialy if you have had the radio out around the time the issues started.

[Confused]

Dash panels haven't been out for ages (no issues with CarPC screen for a while! ;))

It's only been in last 2-3 weeks it's been an issue, dash was last out before JAE, (whenever we sprayed up the dash panels), which was early September time.

But, something I will check as a matter of course.

[mesobitchy]

well hurry the hell up man!
its bloody cold in that car of mine!

Hi,
After checking above mentioned plugs I'd give the motor a tap with something in case the brushes are worn out. Won't fix it for long but would point you in the right direction :)
Cheers,
Gavin :)

i have a fan here if you need it, i might also have a heater control unit somewhere /Hmmm

[mesobitchy]

well hes taken my car away for the weekend, so hopefully he would get a chance to look at it while its being serviced.
if we do need parts then dont worry you will hear me asking ;)

[mesobitchy]

i need a new one ASAP!

but word of advice, mitsi no longer make them so no point going to them for it!
