front interior fan/blower packed up?

[bongobaz1]

hi guys
couple of days ago the fan blower in front cab decided to stop altogther working
i have check all the fuses in the cab for blown ones and there all fine
its a 2.5d with the manual heater controls
any ideas?

Have you checked the heater resistor pack? Is the fan motor turning freely (remove air scoop to get at it). I'd start there, and report back.

thanks! will have a look when it stops snowing!

all fuses checked and seam ok
and check that the fan is turning by hand
is it resistor out next step?

oh and the drain hole is frozen up

If the drain hole is blocked, water running off the windscreen will drain away on to the resistor pack and maybe burn it out. You will have to remove it, check it, and replace if appropriate.

is this the resistor with the blue wires going into it?
there was no cover on my bongo so water must have over flown and go into it
can i repair it and then cover it over with something?

[g8dhe]

Yes that's it, there is a Factsheet http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/member ... repair.pdf
with all the details

[bongobaz1]

right poped it out and got this?

cant see that the soldiers have gone??




does it look ok?

[bongobaz1]

stripped off the top black cover and got this now

all i can see is a crack but would this caus it?

Hi
Just a stab in the dark, but have you tried turning the fan...They sometimes seize up if the unit gets water in, and there's plenty of info on stripping it out in the fact sheets in the members area, where it gives you good pictorial info on de-seizing the bushes.
Without having the resistor pack you show actually in my hands, it does look possible??? to repair the bakelite base where it's cracked with a bit of epoxy, or "plastex"
Cheers

have tried turning the fan and it turns fine??

Hi
Ooops..Geoff had already mentioned the bushes.
You seem to have everything checked...so...apply 12 volts across the motor when you dig it out ...if it spins, it's the resistor....Very rarely, it's the dash switch...but it can happen....
I had the same problem with my rear fan...absolutely everything checked out...the fan spun perfectly (the rear doesn't get corroded). For some strange reason, the motor just stopped working...it didn't spin when a voltage was applied!
Good luck!
Cheers

Have you got digital or manual controls? Resistor pack for manual controls is often repairable by resoldering the connections. If you've got digital controls, it uses transistor pack which is a completely different part & I've only heard of one person sucessfully replacing the components.

its manual controls and i couldnt see anything wrong with resistor pack when i had it out? couldnt see any solders loose

also now the rear blowers have packed up!
they were working last night but now not after i took out the resistor? and the rear fan button near the steering column dont light up now when on??
