Thanks mate just saved me a trip back to garage legend xx

I know it's been a while since you made this video, but it came so handy for me right now. Cheers for making an otherwise frightening job look so easy. You're right, apart from the one screw holding the pipe, the whole job was less fiddly than you would think. Cheers!

Just changed this great vid. I put in a new heat fuse with chock block

Legend. Cheers mate. Now I know I can get this sorted in less than 20 minutes rather than 2 hours of swearing.

Well explained, Liam. I have a similar problem at the moment with my Vectra C which comes pretty much at the total wrong moment as snow and ice does a good job here right now... but I'm gonna fix it.

Every Vectra c comes with a guarantee- you are guaranteed to get a leak in the passenger footwell after about 5 or 6 years. Its caused by a blocked rubber rain scuttle and you simply open the bonnet , reach down on the rhs of the passenger side bulkhead and Pull the rubber shoot off !! You throw it away and don't replace it. It serves NO purpose whatsoever except to give you a guaranteed leak into the car. End of problem .

Thanks for the video.🏆 I just changed the resistor, what a ballache trying to get that little screw located that holda the bit of ducting in place. On my back, head under the footwell, with my legs over the top of the door. At 65 years old, I’m getting too old for this shit,🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for this. My Vectra just scraped through probably its last MOT yesterday and since picking it up from the garage I ran into the 1-2-3 not working but 4 does problem. This video means I can sort this out myself without investing too much money in the old girl. Been a great can and still runs lovely but body is failing badly now. Also, I just wonder if the second half of you video might help me to stop the squeaky/whirring noise my fan has been making for years. If I'm going to be fiddling about down there I may as well do that bit too. Thank you.

Nice one mate...

I had the exact same problem which was solved by this tutorial. Cheers!

Thats the easy side lol, drivers side is a pain in the ass :(

very nice video well done i just want to ask you i have vectra c 2004 so i wonder if you know or have part number for resistor please let me know many thanks

Great vid worked a treat replacing the resistor, cheers

Life saver thanks

Hi great video i have a vectra c and when i turn my air blower to setting hot i can smell a burning smell not sure what that is thanks

I have situations that it won’t blow at all. Motor isn’t blocked because it’s working when I press direct blowing on windscreen but on speed (1,2,3 and 4) won’t working?

Thanks!

Fantastic little hack. Thank you.

E svaka ti dala...

Man :D You saved my day ;P Thanks

lifesaver - you saved 1 hour of my life mate

Should the battery be disconnected before removing both?

hi i replaced my resistor it plugged in and has stopped the problem. but when putting the resistor back in it sits very loosely in the socket. it isn’t coming out all of the way but it isn’t securely sitting in the socket is this normal.

Great video thank you!

You is a star son

Hi, I've got a problem with my blower, total opposite though. My fan works on 1, 2 and 3 but not long after I bought it, it started cutting out on 4, intermittently and then one day totally failed. Really wanting to fix this as I can no longer demist the windscreen. Any ideas mate?

Can resistor fail on just one speed. Mine doesn't blow on speed 1 but works on 2,3 and 4

brilliant, this is why the internet was invented,,,to help people with fat hands

My fans don't work but I have looked for the resistor but can not find it

Dude, you're a life saver! I had a problem with the lamp and I was thinking about buying a new lamp as I thought I won't be able to fix it. Once I was able to reach the lamp properly (thanks to this video), took me 5 minutes to fix the problem. Really appreciated!

Good video - helped me. I only found mine on eBay and there are 2 versions, one being almost the mirror of the other: on ordering remove the faulty one and compare it to the online picture to check the indents in the socket and the way that the external component points. During fitting, the white socket pushes in (one way round only) and then slides into position - it must not fall out as it's supposed to be inside the fan housing and be cooled by air passing over it. It gets very hot.

Enjoyed video have you any video showing changing gear shifter unit on vectra 6speed box and is it big job cheers

And thanks to this I fixed my car! Many thanks

What about the other side lol

Great video! I had a similar problem, well still have. It started with a clicking noise when I was starting the motor: once when the key was turned in first position (power applied) it was clicking for like 3 seconds I was waiting for all the lights to go off and when I turned the key further to start the engine this clicking noise was happening one more time for another 3 seconds. It was like this for about 2-3 months, I was too busy fixing my van, so I left vectra for later. And then the air blower stopped working, it was only blowing air on 4th setting. Also I have noticed a smell of burned electric inside the car. I have just replaced the resistor and now the air blower is working fine on all 1-2-3-4 settings. However I still have that nasty clicking noise while starting the engine and shortly after. I did check different settings and once the engine is on this clicking noise is back again every time I turn on & off the inner circulation of air. I heard there are few motors there and it's a pain to get them replaced. Is that the reason for this clicking? Would you be so kind and advice, please?

In my situation it was blowing only on 4, after replacing the relay first (yes, check it first!) it was blowing on 3 and 4 and you can hear a click sound right away after turning it from 0 to 1, which didn't happen with the old one, and only then after checking the relay should you go for the resistor. My thoughts were that the burnt resistor burns the relay in some time aswell. Change both and you're pretty much secure. In other words, if you turn on the fan and don't hear a click sound, the relay is pretty much as dead as the resistor.

I have a 07 vectra c with all of the above problems now fixed The scuttle was completely blocked and the foot well soaking .I would recommend starting from the bottom when replacing the glove box screws

Cheers matey I watched this and did it no problem and I’m not the best with motors so if I can do it anyone can thanks again

Very helpful tip, but to note for others, it’s still almost impossible to get the indicator bulb out. The wing metalwork is in the way of fingers getting on the bulb holder. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thank-you- great explanation; really helpful step-by-step!

Big like for you sir. Mine stoped working at all after a heavy rain and water în the passenger footwel. I beleive your tutorial Will save me out. Thank you again for sharing this video with us.

Thank you, just did the job as described and working perfectly - saved me loads - Thank you very much.

I had this problem on my signum

Finally!!!! Clear simple straight forward instructions. Very informative I will now take apart my zafira 😂👍👍👍

Hi, good video and well explained thank you. Before I start following in practice I just wanted to ask if you think I have the same fault. I have a 2008 Vectra and only number 1 on the fan has stopped. Numbers 2,3 and 4 are still fine hot or cold. Any thoughts if this is the same fault or something else? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kevin.

Hi, could you tell me whether the 2004 1.9cdti has the resistor in the same place? Just tried the instructions in this video but I couldn’t see the resistor pack anywhere - grateful for any advice :)

Top man! Copied this exactly as you said and now all blowers work a charm! Nice one! 👍🏼

The blower pipe is held in with a 3MM allen bolt …. carefully hidden

Excellent, helped me sort my blower. Do you know anything about why my indicators no longer make the click click sound? (Part from that they work perfectly)

Thanks, was struggling with this 🤣
