Help needed for interior heater failing to work

When you say the heater has stopped working what do you actually mean?

Does the fan blow? Is the air coming out hot or cold. The two functions are separate.....

If the fan doesn't blow it could be electrical.... Fuse or heater resistor.

Air temperature is to do with water circulating from the engine....

Ive sorted the engine fan today ( I think) only time will tell.
Its now the heater inside the car - it doesnt work, u turn the switch to blow out to demist windows and heat car but it doesnt work.
Ive taken the center console bit apart slightly and noticed the switches to turn heat to feet face or windows and all around that area is not lighting up. So does this mean its a simple fuse thats gone hence lighting uo of this area and heating isnt working? X

let me get this right

the fan doesn't work but the matrix gets hot
or is it vice versa?

Which fuse would it be if it is that at have so many fuses lol

Right there are three bits to the heating. All separate and insependant of each other...

Heat

Blowing of fan

Lighting of controls.

What works and what doesnt?

Ive got the fan in engine bay to work now but still working out the heating inside the car ( the one u switch on to demist windows and warm u up or cool u down) its not working at all - turn the switch to 1 it does nothing nor 23 or 4.

As u can see this is the center consol3 I have taken apart - the fan will not switch on to oroduce either hot or cold air into the car and can u see the light bulb? Thats meant to light behind the buttons so you can see buttons in dark - thats stopped working too

This is the light bulb im talking about

Great minds think alike ive just read that lol now need to work out why buttons wont light up lol - if I need to replace the switch btw would it not be better to just replace the entire unit for £20 would that make any difference?

is not any member near you that could pop accross to check it for you ,? im sure a cup of tea would be payment enough

I dont know to be honest with you

if you were in Gods County I would sort it for you, sorry

no but with out them you will not be able to see to put right keep the faith

I had to replace three blown heater control bulbs some time ago. The bulbs are available from Halfords (other suppliers are available!!), and are 12v/2.3W - Halfords number is HBU284. Four bulbs cost me £7.96 in August 2010

Fab I think in just going to replace the while console but somehow need to take all the crappy plastic from the Center console off - ( one thing about freelancers bloody plastic fantastic lol)
But I'm going to try to see if replacing the resistors will fix the heating issue as its blooming cold in the landy without the blower working lol

Update?
