Heater Fan Stopped Working

[darquinn2006]

Hi lads, the heater fan in the car stopped working today :angry:

I done a quick search here and seems a few people have had this issue

I checked all the fuses and there ok but i dont no what relay to check or how i would no its gone

Any help with this would be great

Heya mate if all relays and fuses are ok then check this crappy link out. http://forums.clubep3.com/showthread.php?t=756617 i'll continue to try and find you a better link as I know there is one on club rsx somewhere, I had to do this in our ep3 as a quick fix and then replace the unit once one was sourced. This unit should be behind your glove box and is a little bit tricky to find but might help. I'll post a better link ASAP with better diagrams. This is a temporary repair and not for long term use

Try this one http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=506999 hope this helps it got me out of trouble in the winter for a few days, there are other fuses and relays to check but if all seems ok then have a go

I've got this problem too... It's a pain... Part number quoted on clubrsx is 79330-S6M-941. I just requested a quote from the local Honda dealer. Will keep you guys posted...

i suspect it will be the transistor pack as outlined in the clubrsx link, i havent done this to a dc5 but have in many other cars. i personally would not link out the thermal cutout for any period of time, it is there for safety to prevent the motor etc burning out

 

[ollydc5]

Agree this is not for a permanent repair, more of an easy way to prove the fault and then replace as necessary. hope you get this sorted buddy

 

[darquinn2006]

@ ollydc5 Thanks for the link mate :xgrin:
Gonna have a good look at it whenever i can get time

@Larz will you let me no how much the unit is when you get the price back off honda :xcheers:

No i dont think i will try and do it mate, knowing my luck the car would go on fire or something :xcheers:

 

[darquinn2006]

Checked this out this morning and ollydc5 was bang on with that link

The problem was the transistor pack, its soldered up now as a temporary fix

A new one off my local Honda Dealer is €70

Seems like I have this problem too. The control panel lights work. The circulation button and motor (that you can hear) is working. But I have no power to the blowers and no air-con. Could it be this box that is in the passenger footwell?!

Try Under Dash Fuse 14 10A Black/Yellow, this controls the AC as well.

Right, just taken the transistor pack out and had a look. Have used a multi meter between the two soldered parts on the heat component (not sure what it's called!) and it was an open circuit therefore it's busted. Just wondering if I can just replace this part or whether I need to replace the whole unit.

whole unit, it should be about £50

£66.18! That includes VAT. He is going to sort out a discount for me as I buy all my bits from that dealership. Couple of quid will help. Here tomorrow so will let you know how I get on.

You asked Dave at Steels just out of interest? Price comparison and all that...
