Heater blower resistor

[bluejay]

Hi, my heater blower on my'98 V8 only works on full. I believe this is a result of the heater blower resistor burning out. Does anyone know where it is located and where I can buy a new one. Cheers.

Yep, sounds like the resistor. It is on the blower fan, so you'll have to remove the front access panel in the front bonnet. Not hard to get to.

Your V8 may be slightly different than my 89SE, but here's what mine looked like

Thanks VG any idea where I can get one? Total blank on line

SJ Sports cars has a V8 blower (whole assembly) for £105

A082M6619F

 

Or you could find a suitable resistor.

Sometimes the crimps get corroded, and you just have to redo the crimps...

Part number is ZDFL-P 15X45 F

says 1.1 Ohm  and 1.8 Ohm

Is the resistor actually attached to the motor inside the casing? Just had a look at SJs picture of the blower and there's no sign of the resistor

The V8 blower is quite different. Here is one on eBay, with many pictures.
