Heater only works on full nothing inbetween

danny6801 · Jan 24, 2013

i know im lucky having good heating but when it gets to hot i go to lower the speed down and the heater turns off so its either on full or not at all anyone with any advice would be a great help.

Usually, when it only works on "high" your heater resistor is shot.

danny6801 · Jan 24, 2013

where is the resistor located and can you change for a new one.

yup almost allways the pesky resistor

Yep located inside the heater box near the motor - look for a rectangular plate with a rivet in each corner with wiring going through a gromet in the plate

where can you buy the resistors from cant find them on ebay

DEFENDER90-DAZ · Jan 24, 2013

Not sure but usually to drill out the 4 rivets means you need to remove the heater box......

Mine did this before it gave up the ghost completely. Was the heater switch on the side of the dash that was faulty, the points were shot. New one is about £40 - £50 i think.

In my experience anything in between off and full is useless anyway. The fan needs to be on full for you to feel any benefit.

yehup could well be the resistor. years ago I found one that made the slower speed slightly faster than standard I will search to see if I can find it.
