Hello all,

1991 RRC V8 auto LPG a/c.

Speed I and II on the fan stopped working about two months ago, but III works fine. Then about a month ago, I and II came back: all was well. Then last week I and II have gone again.

Question: I assume it is the resistor pack. According to this I can replace it without taking the dash out. But do I need to replace it? Might it just be a lose connection? Or does ther dash need to come out? (that link is for a LHD, are RHDs different?)

Thanks.
 
When the fan only operates on high it often points to a bad blower resistor.

Edit : From my recent research I recall you can replace it from the intake grill opening.

west slope rover is correct you replace the resistor pack from the front cowel grill intake ...
the upgrade resistor pack is better ...but it has a plug that goes through the fire wall thats a bogger to get to..if you lucky it will come through the hole...and to get to the old resistor...small hands help...good luck..
 
got mine from atlantic britsh for £30 ish and as its an upgrade it wont go wrong again in theory. my plug did not come through the bulkhead grommet so I ended up splicing the wires together through the hinge hole in the decker panel. not great fun but it worked and saved me taking the decker off.
 
Thanks for the replies. All three settings starting working again....then it was only III.........then all of them worked again.

Have I got a loose wire/connection? If so, any idea where that might be?

Thanks.

I think the Atlantic British item is now sold by Paddocks or Rimmers or maybe Famous Four, if you do a search it should pop up. BTW I agree with fett, probably easier to splice wires than take half the front of the car off.
 
its sold by britpart :eek: but they have only stuck a lable on the atlanic britsh box. I got mine from dingo croft.

jumbo it will be the resistor breaking up , just fit an upgrade
 
Still haven't gotten around to this yet (waiting for better weather), but I have noticed something:

The first time it started working again for a while was just after I jet washed it.

The second time it started working again for a while was just after I jet washed it.

The third time it started working again for a while was just after it went through a car wash.

Why would water make it work?
