L322 Blower Fan not working

[2.0_hippo]

hello !

im still very happy with my range rover since trading in my freelander last month.

since owning the new range i kept getting a flat battery when the car was left for a couple of days

anyway took it back to dealers and they changed the final stage resistor for the blower - problem sorted ! no more battery drain !

untill today, hissing down with rain, car steaming up - turn my blower on to clear windscreen to find the blowers not comming on ! Drove home stuggling to see out the windscreen !

the dial speed LED's light up and the rear blower is working just the front blower does not come on at all !

could it be the resistor has packed up again ? surly not ? unless its a loose connection if it wasnt fitted properly in the first place ?

also iv heard there is an upgraded wiring harness for the HVAC ?

this one - YNI500040K WIRING HARNESS | shop | www.lrseries.com | L. R. Series)

can these still be purchased ? as wherever i look they seem to be discontinued ??

maybe this will help cure the blower ?

thanks for the help

Just done mine. If you have bought a new one chances are its failed again. My blower was either off or full on! Took a while to do the job as very fiddly but got there in end.
there is a lead you can buy that says it helps the job but mechanic friends of mine say waste of money.
At over 16 man hours to take dash out and replace blower unit I would bite the bullet and try a new resistor again.

sorted it in the end without the need to buy a new resistor !

the dealer who fitted the new resistor didnt fit it properly, it was sitting loose in the mounting hole, so I took it out, contacts on plug and pins where corroded due to a bad connection.

so cleaned the contacts up, plugged it back in and hey-presto my fan is now working again !
