My tuscan decided I should bear the cold just like her !

Parked the car up after a normal run and the cabin fans (both hot/cold/any temp setting) have decided to stop working !

Anyone know if its an easy fix that could be due to blown fuse etc ? smile

Thanks !

Hey that happened to me check the fuse first if ok check the heater control
Unit which is located behind the dash on the passenger side lie on your back and it's located where the carpet ends clean the connector you may see the pin burnt clean connector and retry.
I good fix would be to remove pin altogethor and solder directly in control unit .

Same thing happened to me in my Tam, was an easy fix, just loose connection in the wires. They are found behind the dash on passenger side, lay with your back on the floormat and look up. Mine had been knocked when giving a ride to a pretty large fella who's knees were banging into the wiring.

Thanks for all the handy replies - I did try all of them and nothing worked ...

Then decided to give the general area udner passenger dash a couple well aimed knocks and the fans came back on.

Gotta love the TVR magic. I think my GF's Ugg boots may have disrupted something on our last drive haha smile

The heater blower motor (along with the heater ecu) is a sensitive beast.

Located under the heater and a/c (if fitted) exchangers/matrices on the N/S of engine bay, but accessed via a grp hatch to inner wing from the battery compartment, they can suffer from water ingress.

My blower stopped working (a couple of times), and the last 'fix' involved giving it a good spray with electrical restorative into the 'end' of motor visible through said hatch and a spray of the electrical connectors. The hatch was just originally, just siliconed in position. I made up some foam rubber gasket around the edge of the hatch and siliconed the ass'y into position, fixing at the edge nearest the wheel arch with 2 stainless self tappers. So far so good, haven't had any blower problems for a year or so.
