Tried to find the circuit diagram for the PTC heater. But my Rave 2002-2004 and 2004+ didnt have them or atleast i couldnt find them. Its the NAS versions so that might explain why.

Found it in the operation and description section. You can probably find out from there. See attachment.

hi

bless u so much for that, trying to work out which wire goes to what as its sounds mind boggling, lol sorry in being so dense, as ive never heard of one of these units and always learning

suprising theres not more info around on line showing where they all go , once i get these wires connected can start to get the dashboard in, and progress getting the rest in and back on the road

i know this may be cheeky but not sure if u can see the wires from underneath the dashboard as if anyone could take a pic they would be a life saver please

will continue to read the great attachment to see if i can make sense of it

thks again and am so grateful

hi

rang land rover direct and they said ive not got a ptc heater and wont help me, rang valeo and they cant help

borrowed a friends laptop and went on topix and microcat still cant find the wires

so sorry to be a royal pain but could anyone have a look for me please on there freelander please as i cant put my dashboard back until ive resolved the situation

thks again for reading this email and any help would be over the moon, banging my head against the wall

thks guys

Rave just says to reconnect the three Lucar connectors, if it was vital that it had to be connected a certain way they would have fitted connectors to do that.
A car can be fitted with either the PTC heater, or a heated front screen, with its own small loom.

hiya

im not watching this post honest, lolol

you have got a very good point my friend as the entire wiring loom behind the dashboard as u say have dedicated plugs that will only fit that particular item

i am so grateful to u having a look for me, driving me nuts that a simple thing as 3 x wires can drive u to insanity

the thing that really wound me up is my local dealer, not releasing the info, but happy to come and get the hippo and repair it at great expense and know i wouldnt get change out of 3-400 quid , they can stick it and seeing ive gone there for years and thats the service u get

have wondered if the nas wiring would show it

but i think ur right if it had to go to a dedicated plug the connector would be keyed

thks again for looking and really am so grateful

This is what NAS Rave says re description...
􀁺 Fuse 1 is connected to PTC heater element 3 (C1879) by a BP wire.
􀁺 Fuse 2 is connected to PTC heater element 2 (C1877) by a BN wire.
􀁺 Fuse 3 is connected to PTC heater element 3 (C1878) by a BG wire
Are the elements numbered?
