    the 2 brown wires

    but wouldnt reccomend it as a perminent fix as it could cause a fire as your leaveing a live perminently to the car

    and also ud have to remember to manually turn them off before leaveing the car

    not sure weather it would also run your rear screen heaer all the time aswell as they are linked

    iv got one atm im about to fit a relay to that to get around the broekn ign switch!

    if you search a site called "honest john" and search it there i litrally doezens of topics on it and how to wire up the relay to cure it

    If its just the heater thats stopped working wouldn`t it be better to 1st check the fuse or replace the heater motor?Don`t want to sound sarcastic but thats what i`d do.

    no its a common problem with the ignition switch i found out when searching the problem id tried replaceing the fuse as it powers the pas pump on pas modles aswel so that was knocked out,soon as fans are turned on nothing just power dips then after a few seconds fuse blows again

    The heater motor is located on the drivers side.You may be able to see it by looking up from the footwell.
