The heater fan stopped working intermittently and then finally died. The motor could be run directly by earthing brown wire, taking 20 amps full speed (30amp fuse No.33) so not a motor problem.
I thought it may be at Electronic Resister Pack at £130 and not a dealer stocked part.  Reading other Forums made me think that it may be the Climate Control unit, as there was no control voltage going to Res. Pack.
I bought a second-hand Climate Control unit and fitted it, but still no fan running.
Then I bought second-hand Resister Pack of a later car 1999, this unit had more cooling fins and I fitted it.  This did not work at first, until the Auto and Off buttons was pressed together to reset Climate Control.  Then the fan starts and climate control runs OK?
I read that if symbol ‘--‘ comes up when switching off engine, where the temperature reads, that there is a fault on the Climate Control. I getting  this sign.
Is there anyone with any ideas if this is true, and how to read the faults, is it a Tech2 job?

yup, true.  may be an old code stored though.

Will the fault code self cancel in time, say thirty starts, or will it remain in for good, unless Tech2 is used to cancel.

Not sure, not come across too many climate faults.
