Right I believe i've asked before but I never got round to doing it.

Are any of these problems linked together by the same fuse or relay?

The interior lights (on roof) won't work, ive checked connections, everything seems okay but no light. Suppose to come on when doors are open etc but just don't. I've checked all my fuses under bonnet and nothing obvious.

The lights for the heater controls also don't work including the analogue clock, but previously the lights have come on and worked for a couple of days but then stopped again. Confusing.

The boot light doesn't work either. But this isn't so important. But might be linked to the others.

And finally I have no electrical heating or cold air. I can get a flow of air when the car is moving though, and I can control whether it comes through hot or cold. But I can't control the speed or when.

Any help or input would be greatly appreciated. :)

Thanks

The lights will be one thing, the heater will be another.

The heater problem is covered in the Wiki:

I have read through this thanks.

So I had the fan out saturday, powered it up and it works fine. No voltage getting to the fan. So im guessing the next step is the resistor pack? Where is it exactly?


Weirdly the lights for my heater controls actually came on yesterday morning for about an hour, then just went off again :roll:
