Right it seems that my heater blower control has given up the ghost.
I only get the blowers working on Nr 4. A new resistor has failed to rectify the problem and there are no fuses gone.
So can the heater controls be fixed or is do i need a new unit?

You can take them apart and clean up.

Cheers Tom.
By "clean up" do you mean clean up any terminals in the controls? Ive never opened a set to know whats in there.

Yeah the front of the control unit can like unclip off and you can get at all the contacts in there and bend and clean stuff until it works again.

Ok, ive had the heater controls apart and cleaned up all contacts to no avail.
Blowers still only work on Nr 4.
Ive alreadt replaced the rheostat that sits near the scuttle panel.
Is there anything i have missed? The blower motor itself?
