Cleaned my dashboard with window cleaner, now my running lights will not turn off. A day later my heater fan just stopped working. Heater fuses are fine. How/where do I find the vent motor?

SOURCE: brake lights / horn / climate fans not turning on

Hi,

I suggest you check the main relays - any auto electrician should be able to find a faulty relay.

Safe motoring.

SOURCE: fan blower stopped working

I had the same problem and Ia m working to resolve it.
You need to remove the blover under the glove box it's very easy to remove. 1) remove the glove box, 2) the metalic suport that it's hold by 4 screws and finally remove the 3 screws that holds the blower. Take it off and remove the coverplate of the motor ( 2 screws) and
check the brushes. In my case they were worn out. So you need to buy a new motor with the blower aprox $50 or try to replace the brushes.

SOURCE: 1995 Subaru Impreza wagon - heater fan

Mine use to work on high only. It was the switch cylinders, something like that. It was an easy fix. Now my blower motor works intermittently. If I kick it, it turns back on. It is located on the passenger side close to the door side directly above your feet (below the jockey box). Kick straight up. If you need to replace it it is also an easy do-it-yourself repair. Make sure before you go out and replace your blower motor that you check your switch. A lot of repair shops will replace the motor w/o checking the switch, you end up paying for 2 repairs. You can make sure it's not the switch by jumping (bypassing) the switch.You apply jumper wires (not cables) directly to the motor, if the motor turns on you know it's the switch.

SOURCE: 93 Subaru Heater fan not working

Have you checked the earth? You may find current is going to earth via the fans. Find the earth for the heater and make sure it is earthing really well. Hope this helps.

Hi, on my 02 Land Rover Freelander HSE, my air con/ heating fan has completely stopped working - Any ideas on what it could be?

ck your heater fan fuse first , that might have 2 places with fuses for that , if they are not blown look for maybe a relay for it also , next see if you are getting power to your heater fan if you are then you fan will need replaced but I really never seen a fan go unless there was something stopping it from turning keep e posted

The check coolant light has been on for about two weeks. I took it to a garage and they determined that it was my heater core. A few days later and the radiator fan is running after I turn off my car and...

Well, the low coolant light could have been on if the heater core was leaking coolant.
If the heater core was replaced and the radiator is now full of coolant, the low coolant light should be off.
The radiator fan can run for a minute after the engine stops to make sure the engine does not overheat. This can be a normal event for some models as long as it does not run for more that 3 or 4 min.
What kind of idle problem ??

The heater stop working a couple days after i added a radiator cleaner and the heater stop blowing warm air today, is there a fues to replace or did the heater valve get clogged

If the fan wont blow air at all then it is a fuse. If the fan works and the car is warm you have a clog somewhere. you could try pulling a heater hose off when the car is cold to check for flow.

Heater and a/c fan doesnt turn on

Your fan motor has either burned out or there is a short in the wiring. Check for voltage at the fan motor plug under the dashboard. If you have power there then the motor is bad, replace the motor and you should be good to go.

Battery and Brake light on, fans stop

Engine was running too hot, thermostat s/b 180, it was 195, antifreeze solution had too much water, this caused the radiator thermal switch to trip. I think the alternator was either bad, or the excessive heat made it draw too much. Two separate problems.
