Fan speeds 1+2 don't work but 3 does!?!? Help!

[small]3 threads in 1 day - this is a record for me![/small]

Just driven my car at lunch (well, you gotta!)...and fan speeds 1 and 2 are not working on the interior fan, but speed 3 (full blast) does?!

I have air con in mine, and the switch itself is obviously working because when I turn the aircon on for setting 1 it lights (though nothing blows), and then when I turn it to '0' it turns the aircon light off - so it means the switch is connected.

I did wash my car last night - is it possible some water could have got in the electrics?

Also, any ideas where to start looking for the fan relays?!

Thanks all!
Tony

[S Works]

In the S1 there are 2 sets of relay, one in the engine compartment and another on the near side of the front compartment.

Dunno about S2 but I guess they will be in similar areas. Hope your unit isn't on the blink, IIRC it's a pricey b*gger to get fixed if so.

Went to dealer yesterday...phoned me to say it's the reostat that's broken, part ordered last night, with them tomorrow, car fully fixed with fan speeds 1, 2 AND 3 by tomorrow ready for the weekend. Result (all under warranty)
