   Take the heater motor out & connect it up to a battery with some leads that would eliminate if you have a faulty heater or not.If the heater works this way then you either have a faulty switch or a dodgy resistor pack on the heater motor itself.Of course theres always a chance of a break in the wiring somewhere.

   Lift your bonnet, give the motor a hit with a hammmer, job done
