My first (minor) problem with the Tam.
Got in to come home last night & the heater wouldn't blow. The LED's worked ok, blue to red & the fan speed LED's lit up from low to high BUT no air coming through.
Looked in the manual to locate which fuse, checked OK.
The fan isn't running, can't hear it anyway- even without the engine running.

So back in the Tonka toy today.
It don't go or handle like the Tiv but the heater works - which was needed this morning, only 3C. Yeah I know - softie.

Anyone had any trouble with their fan?
Any pointers/ things to check tonight?

TIA

Every time you adjust the temperature dial the fan will stop until the heater flaps inside have moved- usually about 5-10 seconds -then the fan should start again.

Yeah, it used to do that before, most of the time, just thought that was normal ops. But now its dead.
I've tried shutting down, engine off, restarting etc but still dead, nada.
Pulled the fuse, can't remember which no. from memory (20A red) which it also took the ecu offline aswell.

Anyone know where the fan is located?
Guessing somewhere behind the dash/ footwell area.

The fan is situated behind the L/H/F wing, Take the L/H/F wheel off and remove the battery cover. Look above the battery(your eyes will need to be on a stalk)the blower wires are up there, they can come loose or get water in them!
Best of luck
