How far warped is it?
Ive not had it off so I dont know. Its something someone mentioned to me, its not from direct experience, I just know that its a possibility due to thesilicone around the bottom.
After a little help with the circuitry for the interior fan. Just received a new fan from ebay. Fan works fine connected to the battery, but not when installed. No fuses are blown. I measured approx 12v at the terminals for the fan. When i toggled the fan speed controls the voltage dropped. What is going on???
@DaveL485 Looking through other threads, you might know whats going on?
If there is voltage at the terminals for the fan wiring, it has to be a bad connection between the fan and wiring.
Ive read that you can get voltage, but no current if the rheostat fuse has blown…which is another full dash removal i think!!!
Can you bridge out the rheostat? Either just the thermal fuse or the whole thing…not sure where it sits on the 5 access wise.
I think its inside the heater box, which is a PITA! Atleast, i can see a coil from above where the fan sits, but i dont think you can access it without removing!
Unlucky, looks like the dash is coming out then ![]()
Yep, Sorry. No other way. Looking good otherwise.
I think while its out, i might run a fuse holder to it!
Got some new air hoses from ebay to replace the very tatty looking ones, I think these look decent enough. The fuse has arrived to fix the blower, so that will be to do in the next few days! ![]()
Whats the black ball bolted to the bulkhead, just below the airbox in the pic?
Ive no idea, open to suggestions!! I also dont know what the thing above it is with the wiring harness, because one of those sets of wires doesnt go anywhere
@DaveL485 I searched the part number, and it seems to be a vacuum reservoir. Glad a pulled it out as the hose has split ![]()
7700740002
It just seems to be an empty sphere with a single hose line
Thats another job done … dash out, heater box out, dismantled with new fuse ready to fit, only to find there was no fuse!
Looks like mine is the type without a fuse, so, i wondered for a little, then decided that the huge amound of rust on the terminals wouldnt help. Got out the multimeter and confirmed conductivity issues, so cleaned up the terminals with a dremel. Applied to WD40 and put it all back together. Put in enough dash to test and…it worked! ![]()
So, if you have a non working internal blower, and everything looks fine, it could be the terminals on the rheostat.
Good man! Thanks.
Tine for a bit of soldering, tidying up the mess that is the radio harness. A mixture of bare wire and bullet connectors. Best replace with a nice ISO harness with soldered, heat shrunk connections ![]()
cheers man
So, my rear wiper doesnt work correctly. When I press the button in moves about a third of its cycle and stops, then moves a bit more, and finally the last third.
Would that be a faulty wiper relay, the Klaxon 54616, or something else?
