Re: Number 3 setting on the heater not working ?.

Is there a part no for this resistor ?, i've had a look in the part list but can't seem to find it ?, & this might be a silly question, but don't suppose these resistors can be repaired ?.

I believe that your car is a late car, which means you will need the later heater resistor
Trev, do you know what year did the cars change from being an early to a late car ?

Do you use the car alot :?: ,once running check the voltage from the alternator
should be up to 14.v/14.5 if your alternator is giving a good charge to your
battery
I have checked the dial in the dash whilst driving & it sits about central so i believe that's in the normal charging zone.

Unfortunately i didn't finish work until it was dark today so haven't had chance to ...

I realise the car is 25 yrs old, but compared to my 2014 transit connect i have to say there very poor, i'd hate to have to do a...
