Hi
I am new to this forum.
Used car this morning ( Zafira 1.6 Life, 56 plate) the interior electric fan NOT WORKING on speeds 1,2 and 3 but is working on 4 with the air conditioning working.Could it be a blown fuse?
Has anybody any ideas?
Thanks
John

Fault is the ballast resistor, not too difficult to change, however if it goes again quickly the fan motors are known to develope a fault. These fans are seriously expensive, was quoted best part of £400 to change, I bought a used spare from a good on line car breaker (£60) and swapped it in less than an hour.

Word of warning, my wife used the car for around two month with only "off" or "flat out" on the fan speed control, if you change air direction whilst on speed 4 you can end up with a disconnected control arm and demisters not working.

Good luck
