Hi guys,

All of a sudden my heater fan only works on setting two. Anyone have any idea on what the problem could be?

Broken switch

hard to fix?

[crazyazz]

might check the resistor pack

[Umai Naa!!]

Fan speed resistor usually only lets it work on high.

I'd be checking the switch contacts. They might neeed cleaning and adjusting.

[crazyazz]

How do I get at them? Do I have to remove the whole unit?

[gldgti]

no, under the glovebox, you should be able to remove the panel that holds the resistor pack from the base of the fan housing.

I did see it was on the passenger side on the polo, the glove box on the Ibiza is under the steering wheel

[crazyazz]

So its on the passenger side like the polo? Have to pull up all that foam like stuff and carpet under dash?

Think it is the switch now, I took the cover off and now it doesnt run at all.

How do I check if its working? I cant figure out the crazy setup

Also does it just pull out?

You're in the right spot.

Push on the copper contact switch and see if you can get all speeds working.

If you pull the knob off, you can see all the inner workings.

I tested it all with the multimeter and it was fine. So I reached around the back of the dash and pushed on the plug going into the switch and its all good! So happy!

Thanks for your help man!

I repl mine from my parts car as it was only working on hi
too loud and blowing out foam dust...newby works on more settings 23&4 nice

I thing if you pull it out you will find the contacts are worn and you maybe able to bend into place with nosepointpliers
can also send you mine for cheap when I fix it..

undo the screw(s)
pull it and rebend the terminals which are not touching where they shoul.
