Permanent fault, blower return

Unread post by Jaf »

So the passenger heater blower on Fred has suddenly stopped completely. Fuses F5 and F21 are fine. Lexia states Permanent fault, blower return. Anyone had this and know what it is? Am thinking MC10 earth point or some burnt out connection?

Thanks.

Don't take too much notice of what Lexia says Jaf as I've seen this 'fault' even when the blower has been perfect...

Have a good read of this 'Sticky' as a first act of diagnosis. It contains wiring diagrams and much useful information...

Um. Took the fan out, little bit of scorching on the multiplug on the fat black wire. Cleaned it up a bit, put the fan back and it's working. Yay!
