yeah that was gonna be my next thing to try going for the easy stuff first

thanks kim i,ll give it a try

ok have tried a new hazard switch and a new relay (the one inside the steering column cowl)
and its still the same... bulbs are all fine and hazards work fine...dont know what to try next....anyone got any ideas?

got lots of little electrical niggles with this car at the moment..(driving me nuts) the latest one is the right handside indicators (all 3)....when i turn on right hand side indicators there is no green light on the dash and the normal indicator sound is really fast like a real fast click ...hazard...

passenger window on my cab is very slow...the first six inches is ok then it really struggles then picks up speed again the last couple of inches and sounds like its struggling..its also the same on the way up...could this be the switch

whats the best way to test a fan blower motor to see if its working..............need the electrical idiots guide
thanks

ok just found the problem using the search facilty (glove box light shorting out) another one of brian mooore,s fixes.....this blokes a bloody genius...like some sort of electrical guru

my indicator fuse keeps blowing as soon as i replace it then start the car it blows again....hazards work fine...any advice appreciated .....thanks

cant be the resistor pack then as the fan does,nt run at all

ok took the brown clip out and this is what i found...i,m still none the wiser [img][img]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p35/telboy63/resistor010.jpg[/img][/img] [img][img]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p35/telboy63/resistor011.jpg[/img][/img] [img][img]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p35/...

thanks brian i,ll check it out over the weekend

right....bear with me please brian like i said i am an electrical novice.. is the thermal fuse on the resistor which is to the right of the glove box....if so do i need to change this or just part of it..thanks

but it does it on both blower motors one of which i have just bought second hand but was tested and also turns perfectly freely with no stifness or bearing noise whatsoever..............is ther anyway to test thse motors...in laymans terms as i am a complete electrical novice ie....blue wire /brown ...

would i cure this by changing the resistor

forgot to add there is a clicking sort of noise from the engine compartment

anyone know how you access the bulb to the auto gear selector the one that illuminates the numbers

where would i find the switch....ta

my heater blower was blowing fuses so soought advice from the forum and it turned out to be the fan was seized....so i freed it with wd40 and put it back together....it started working on no4 but kept cutting out till eventually it stopped altogether...so i buy asecond hand one on ebay ...fitted it ...

thanks for your help guys

looked at it today and the fan was seized managed to free it with some wd40 it now works but only on position 4 but it also sounds like its struggling and cuts out then starts again...so it looks like a new motor.......

thanks guys will check it out tommorow

dont know.......................... how do i get to it to have a look...thanks

heater blower keeps blowing fuses if i replace the fuse as soon as i turn on the ignition it blows............any ideas ...ta
