heater only working o no 3 speed

[genie 1970]

can any one help me please as iam looking to find out were abouts the heater regulator resistor is located , i have taken the dash board apart only to find the fan motor wires behind the stero location , iwas told to look for a 3 wire plug near there but still can not find it i have orded a new one offf ebay bay but need to find were it is PLEASE CAN ANY OUT THERE HELP ME ?????????????????????? sorry should off said my van is a swb 80 r reg 2.5 dielsel

best to give us enough info to have a go with a chance of being right ,

mark , engine size ,fuel year
too much info is better than none

myself i cant say as i dont have a tranny but i think the bit you want may be under the windscreen valance in the engine bay as they need cooling to dissipate heat

Mine does that too, tis a mk5 swb 80 on a p plate. Would be interested to find out how to fix it although it's defo no.3 hot type weather out there at the minute.

mine is adjacent to the drivers side headlamp
r plate 97- 98
when you replace it move it to some where like b side battery lest mosure
going to do mine in summer
i take it you have cheque the relays

[familybanger]

Cheers for the info fellas. Now tell me, how do you check a relay? - electrics is really not my forte in life

[ireland.1495]

if it clks it works
ithink not graight my self
had some probs my self had to get a new motor and switch went to scrap yard
so whyle i was there i tuck any thing that was of use to me ie any - all relays i cound fin on scrap tran
1 prob still cant get the right switch mine is 3 left and 3 right with ac in middle / push
got a strandard 1 in at moment to get buy

just b glad yours did not blow up on you i was on m4 out side cardiff air on nex thing smoke give me a fright
fan motor went and switch thank good that was all
never seen this b 4

Its not your relays.
Its definitely the resistor pack if it will only work in top speed.
I cant help with its location, but they are usually close to the heater blower motor, try and get a ford TIS disc or workshop manual.
Failing that if you can see the wires at the fan try and follow them and you will eventually find the resistor pack.

Next to drivers side headlight

This is the thread I was linked to when I did mine - I found it great. Depends on your actual vehicle, as Mk5 is when they had two locations. My Mk4, and the early Mk5's are behind the drivers side headlight. Don't get confused with the dimdip resistor which looks almost identical, but has less wires to it.

EDIT: Just make sure its the 3 pin one
On the MK3, 4 and earlier MK5 have the 3 pin heater resister on the behind the headlight, the later (someone else will know year) are under the dash

Sorry guys the one next to the drivers side headlamp is for the dim headlight, it only has 2 terminals.
On the MK3, 4 and earlier MK5 have the 3 pin heater resister on the N/S behind the headlight, the later (someone else will know year) are under the dash

All the Mk4s and early Mk5s I have done have had them by the offside headlight, that's why you move them up to near the battery tray because it is right by it.

Hmmmm, I had to change this resistor on both my 1994 Mk4, and this Mk5, ....................... and they were both next to the drivers headlight

Looks like it's just you then AlanN.

yes on early ones is under bonnet, late ones are next to blower motor (under dash) as pic shows.
