Hi guys,
have the fan messing me about at this time of the year. Headache. Sometimes while driving along it will operate as normal, others it will faff about and go slow, changing to and fro on its own accord.
Is there any fix to this or is it a fault in the controls panel or even the motor itself?
I remember on the mg it had resistors but this isnt a 1,2,3,4 system so im not sure about it.
Thanks in advance.

On the blower motor itself. I had recently had mine out to oil the bearings.

Its really stiff going into the connections? The switch looks like it has to open to take it out? Im assuming thats the correct way as that's how I done it.
Otherwise its not playing ball very well lol. Pain in the ass.
It seems the blowers don't change position too, I dont hear a motor open or close the flaps or move anything to redirect the air?
