GU Heater Fan Resistor Box location????

Post by Best1 »

The heater fan in the cabin of my GU wagon only works on setting #4. I can see on the wiring diagram that there is a resistor box between the switch and the fan that controls the other three settings, and I have checked the switch itself and all tests okay. Before I spend hours searching for the resistor box and pulling things apart that I don't need to, can anyone tell me where it is located? Cheers.

look at the air box behind the glovebox. find a bunch of wires on that box and you will most likely have located it.
Usually remove a couple of screws and the resistors are on the back cover plate

Just as suggested they were on a card in the airbox. There seems to be a fusible link on the card that all three resistors are in series with, not sure why as it is fuse protected in the fuse box?? Anyhow the fusible link was open circuit so I have soldered a solid link in and all works okay for now. Will see if I can find a second hand one at the wreckers to replace it. Thanks for the help!
