Hi im the newbie can anyone help here my steering seemed to go heavy on saturday and heater dislay turned off an shut heater down and has'nt come back on since the 30 amp fuse seems fine any ideas guys

[Welung666]

Have you tried another 30a fuse in fuse 14?

[marty v6]

took  fuses out. one in fuse box and the othe one on top of battery both were fine worst luck cheers mate

[Welung666]

Ah, but did you try another fuse? They can sometimes blow without looking blown

[marty v6]

cheers mate i checked fuse 33 the big one so earlier opened fuse box and 14 has a seat symbol on lid but pulled it out and you were right it was blown so a trip to halfords and all good. do you know what pipe for behind radio i can get my index finger in it could it be for cooling back of stereo as cant see where it goes thanks again much appreciated.

i think that pipe has something to do with the climate control it goes to the little vent not sure of propper name

[marty v6]

its in bottom left corner and air was blowing out of it whilst fan was on it has a right angle bend int it could it go on to the suuround around radio as had that out when checking heater connections

Is the hole an angled square shape or round?

I think you are correct.

I fitted a Blaupunkt head unit in my 1994 pre facelift and it used to get scarily hot. I fitted the same head unit in my current 2003 facelift and I can feel air movement round the edge of the double DIN adapter. Even after journeys of several hours, with the volume cranked up, it doesn't even feel warm (which is nice  ).

blimey i stand corrected   what a good idea

[marty v6]

Hi guys im loving this forum. ive just had another look and thweres no where for it to go its round and bout 2" long tops it angles towards back of radio so presume it for cooling stereo thanks for all your help. does anyones 3 litre run cold is this weather but turn heater off and temp rises thanks again.
