If resistor is donald, fans will run on unless fuse #33 is pulled

Not always. Sometimes the failure mode is where it will not provide any power to the fan motor.  In fact, IME, this seems to be the most common failure mode. Only seen the constant running if its been soaked by the scuttle drain.

As it seems the fan is non functional (I assume you have tried manually turning the fan right up ), I would suggest removing the glovebox, disconnect (and insulate!) the wires from speed controller, and apply a 12v fused feed to the fan directly, to see if it spins. If it does, I'd be suspicious of the speed controller (hedgehog).

Also, has your scuttle drain blocked, as that can kill the speed controllers, as they don't like water.

Hi hon Theboy, so what is the possible cure to the prob which you've tables? Thanks

[gibby]

As to no hot air either, check first that the pipes going to the bulkhead are hot. There could be a vac problem causing no heat. Easy test if its a vac problem is pull the vac hose off the top of the HBV.

Have you done this?

Hi Hon RobG, yes the bottom pipe to bulhead is cold and the top pipe is very warm. Thanks

Far cough you

Gibby.When flushing the matrix you may find it easier to disconnect the other end of the pies,rather than the so called quick release connectors at the bulkhead.The bulkhead connectors are often reluctant to release quickly,slowly or any other way.
But as Rob says,a sure sign of a blocked matrix.Needs flushing through,then refill with new coolant.

Hi sir, just a quick one, how long should this prosess last? Its not specified in the link you posted. Thanks

[RobG]

5-10 mins forward flush and the same when you reverse flush should be ample

Thanks sir, during this time should the engine be running or not? Sorry for bothering you.
