Is there 12V going to resistor :-\

Sorry Rob! That means nothing to me :-[ :-[

I've just been out and had another look. With the hedgehog in the footwell all connected...nothing.

Running a live feed from the battery to the red blade wire on the hedgehog, the bower kicks in.
I take it that means the hedgehog is fine??

F@&king car.

Just about had a guts full today, along with the bloody rain >:( >:( >:(

With the hedgehog connected via a direct feed from the battery, the blowers all work with variable speed etc.

I've pulled all the centre console all out and all wires look ok. Plugging just the cc unit in and tapping off a glovebox live feed direct to the hedgehog, it all works still.

That'll do for now, at least I'll have blowers on the windscreen in the morning. Put the radio cage back in along with the black plastic housing surrounding it, plugged the cc unit back in and guess what....... It's stopped bloody working again >:(

FFS, what is it with this bloody car ???

True I guess TB, just bloody frustrating :(

If I feed the hedgehog from another source if I can't find the break in the current feed, will that be ok.... Electrically wise?

Hedgehog is fed from F33 (nothing else is), so check F33

I thought you said all fuses were OK though. But double check this one, if only to make an old man like me happy.

I did check all fuses as per the start of my thread and they were all fine. I'll double check F33 again though. I did check and swop around 13,14 & 15 today just to make sure those were good but did forget the big boy F33.

Cheers TB :y

Is there a chance it was blown already and is the source of your blower problems, or the old hedgehog was fubared and blew the fuse ?

No chance. I pulled all 3 big fuses including F33 and were fine. Looked today and F33 was slightly browned and quite a large gap where it had blown.

No chance it was missed, even by me, lol.

Pinched wire behind/above the radio then. Pull the entire cage assembly and check the wires closely :y

Might find that the extra wiring from the Parrot kit is taking up a bit too much space there :-\

I can think of many things to say about Cortinas and Itals. "Miss" is not one of them, both awful examples from awful manufacturers.
