Hi, the blower fan didn't work when I purchased her, how will I know if it's the switch or the motor itself. I have checked the fuse.

Park in front of a wall, pref at night,put your h/lights on and mainbeams,then put your blower on if the lights dim a bit,your motors gone.

Now that sounds like a top tip cheers..

Or swap the switch out for a known good one.
If the switch is at fault there will be no dimming !
The fuse normally blows if the fan is duff but the switch is ok.
Could be both !
You could, if you are competent and have the equipment, test the switch and or bypass it to test and diagnose.

Thanks for the sound advice again. New switch ordered..

The switches do go,if you've just bought the van id say the blowers gone,but that's a guess.Hope its the switch.Lot easier fix. Adam

Result chaps. Part came £5, fitted it. Turned the switch, then a squeak and puff of dust from the vents. Full blower on one happy chappy

it squeeked....

oh dear
I hope it isn't the scream of bearing death... keep an ear out

It sounded like the squeak of not running for a long time

Mine squeaked for a while. I ignored it. Now it doesn't work anymore.

I'm not completely sure but I think that on some level I may be partially to blame.

We will see how it goes

Where does the blower switch go? Where is it located. Mine is knackered too!

Take off the the heater fascia by prising off. It is held on with two diagonal studs. Top right and bottom left. Push out the fan speed selector. Seperate in two. I then swapped the front piece, hey presto back up and running for around a fiver..
