Hey,

Just joined the forum and already looking for some help! I've got a 96 2.5 Sport and the blower on the heater is not working, not blowing any air what so ever. So unable to demist the screen which is an issue here in the UK! It does work every now and again for a day or two, then just stops working for weeks.

Not really sure where to look, a quick google shows stuff for later XJs with A/C, but mine is an earlyish model with no A/C.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris

 

First, make sure the switch isn't faulty and check your fuses. She might have popped one. If not, proceed.

Next case, does the switch work on the highest speed or not at all? If it does work on the highest speed, the blower resistor is bad. If it doesn't work at all, the blower motor is bad. If you need to replace the blower motor, replace the resistor at the same time.

 

check other threads here. switch connectors overheat and melt, ez to fix.

 

Thanks for the replies, the heater isn't working at full power.

How do I test the switches? Will take a look at the fuses, but seeing as it does work every now and again, I'd ruled them out?

Again, thanks for the help!

 

Not sure if this helps any diagnostics, but the heater doesn't really get hot either when it does work

 

check temp cable, mine was loose, would not move vent to full hot. under dash,mine pass side, yours?
if both heater hoses are hot, hot water is going thru the heater core.

 

I have the same problem. The fan works sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. It's annoying cause I need the defrost badly.

 

fan is often bad/melted connectors . posts here guys have fixed .

search and read a lot of threads, lots to learn.

 

Make sure your switch doesn't look like this on the back... It probably does.

 

Is that on the back of the control unit on the dash?
