My heater just stopped working today, being a spark I instantly thought fuse. However, your comment at the end about water leaking in through the motor being a contributing factor to it packing up, it all made sense. In really heavy rain water appears in my passenger footwell. Going to order a new motor right now to fit in a couple of days. Cheers for the video, appreciate it

@isaacharvey Жыл бұрын
I'm sorting out fan issues in my Astra, and it seems that if the fan motor is ok it should still run on the highest speed setting even with a faulty resistor, as the high setting bypasses the fan resistor(s) and the thermal fuse in the fan resistor. In my case the thermal fuse had blown, possibly from an ageing fan or blocked pollen filter causing additional current-draw through the resistor(s) and therefore more heat buildup.
@stephencrozier396 Жыл бұрын
Mine is still working on highest speed but not on others so have just ordered a thermal fuse, so thanks for that ! That said I may replace fan as well as perhaps with age it might be drawing to much current.

Thanks for this video, I used it to go through the steps to replace my seized blower. Had to happen in November when it's cold. I should point out (an observation, not a criticism), that behind my glove box, it's laid out a little differently. My Resistor was much harder to reach and looked completely different, I suspect I have climate control and you have air conditioning. Also the fan didn't quite pull out as easily as yours. Anyway, these minor differences didn't stop your video being priceless to me so thanks again.

Hi . YES Got it done. The problem was the Resistor had got really Hot and melted itself into its housing. IT WAS SOLID.. In the end I had to remove the Pollen Filter and cut away until the Resistor come loose. Then I had to fabricate new panels and rivet them in position to provide a new housing for the Resistor. It really WAS a NIGHTMARE. I'm completely Tooled up to do the job and I'm a Panel Beater of 30 years. I thought I'd have it done in an hour 😵💫 I'm now wondering how many Astras have have caught fire over the years due to red hot Resistors. I guess I was just unlucky. I just thought I'd make you Laff with my comments 🙂
