Heater blower not working - It's NOT fuse or ignition wiring.

    Hey,

    My heater blower has stopped working all of a sudden, along with the rear heated windscreen. The rear windscreen button light has also gone out completely / extremely dim. The fuse for these is fine though, so what could this be? I'm a little stumped

    Thanks!

    Ugh, I'm guessing it's bridging the two brown wires together under the steering column? I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that.

    Right I've just been out to have another look. Fiddled around with the brown / red wired under the steering column, no luck. Fuse is absolutely fine so no luck either. The blower and rear demister & switch aren't working, surely there's some other way than to connect the two wires under the car together?!

    i had this problem turned out the wire came loose from the blower so i just plugged it back in, if your rear window demister isnt working either then im not sure :/

    Been to check again. I've bridged the two brown wires by simply wiring the two ends together - no luck. Re-seated the blower switch around the back - no luck. So here it is so far:

    It's NOT:
    - Fuses
    - Blower Switch Plug
    - Ignition Wires
    - Loose Wires

    What the HELL can it be?! I refuse to believe that it's simply two coincidental dash switches breaking.
