14Platoon Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Ex MOD 90 on a 1992 plate i upgraded my dash bulbs a short while ago. When I refitted the dash cluster it didn’t fit quite correctly. I had to really push the blower lever down (tension) to get a fast speed for th3 heater blower. Now the blower doesn’t blow at all, heater fan doesn’t ev3n turn. Any ideas what’s broken? I’m guessing it’s something up the top end as I was struggling to push the lever, however the lever is now free with all wires attached and no obvious breakages. Do the switches giv3 up the ghost? Doesn’t look like too much to go wrong with them Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Could be the switch. They are not exactly well made. The only way to know is to trace the fault with a test light or voltmeter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14Platoon Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Not really great with the multimeter. Any simple instructions (like for a 5 year old)? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 move the instrument cluster again & make sure you have the 3 elect wires connected & the push/pull cable to the air flap in heater box is connected & it hasn't snapped at the lever end fitting. page 628 in http://www.retroanaconda.com/landrover/parts_books/110/7_exhaust_cooling_heating_p580-666.pdf should help with sorting out what should be where 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14Platoon Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 When I move the blower switch / stalk, I can see it move from behind the cluster but what should it be moving on the other end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 a air control flap inside the heater box, my post about adjusting the cables tells which lever moves which air flap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two should have 12 Volts when the ignition switch is on. Make sure they are all connected and the ground wire is connected to ground.

DC_ Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 How did you get on? You’ll get it sorted with patience Platoon..... There’s a lot to learn about the Green Oval. No one knows it all, but this is the place to be for help. Before you changed the lamps on your dash, was it working ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not checked the voltage yet. It was working fine before and after I changed the bulbs, I just had more difficulty moving the actual lever afterwards due to the cluster not being aligned. I had to move th3 lever beyond its original point of operation to get it working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
