    Thread: RESISTOR BLOCK help plz
Post: RE: RESISTOR BLOCK help plz

Just to check when my blowers stopped working. It was a small relay by the firebox. They're prone to failing and a cheap and easy fix :-). As for the resistor block I'm not sure where that is.

I realise that :-) it was continuously clicking on and off. It seems to have stopped now and only clicks once with the ignition on to prime the fuel pump.

Cheap zx up near Huddersfield. He says it's a bit of a rust box but for 150 it could be of interest to somebody. I'd have it if I had the space but I have enough cars that won't run on my drive :-)

Replaced the relay and it is still clicking on and off. Also the immobiliser still hasn't armed itself even when the battery has been removed for a couple of days. It still hasn't asked me for a code
