wow, can't believe it's 2 and a half years since my last post
my S70 has been parked up on SORN for a year due to "budgetary constraints", although it had this particular problem before it was laid up
i want to get him back on the road now... it drives fine and failed MOT today on minor things, no real problem there but what's bugging me is that the heater fan & associated bits won't work.
it seems there's no power to that area at all, nothing on the AC or air mix buttons, no function and the little lights don't light up (heated seat switches still work, as does the cig lighter i believe)...
the heater temp controls were fully up last time i drove it, and no matter what i do with them, i still get hot air, so whatever adjusts the hot/cold mix isn't moving
the fan doesn't work, although i do remember when i was driving it before, i had left it 'full on' and as i was driving along one day, the fan momentarily came on (but not for long) so a simple fuse or relay is not the problem i don't think (i'm assuming??). I haven't managed to get it to come back on since then.
the final symptom is a kind of 'mist' coming out of the vents, not a huge amount but it's there, obviously i'm a bit concerned about this in case its something hazardous (sure hope it aint!)
would love to get the old fella back on the road so if anyone can point me in the right direction i would be very very grateful!
i'm a semi-competent DIY mechanic although a long standing back problem means i can't do as much as i used to (i'm not liking this 'getting old' lark) but ideally would like to sort myself, as funds still not able to stretch to a £70 p/hour auto electrician!
cheers guys
Jim
