Hi there,
Since I had the car the blower doesn't work.
Fuses and wiring are good. The slide switch is working. There is power coming through (when ignition is on) and the earth seems good.
Is there an easy way to check and replace the motor? Or do I have to pull the whole heater out? No diagrams I my manual, and O haven't seen any thing online.
Best regards
Paddy

I think you have to pull the whole thing out.
But make sure the plastic connector part at the right hand, upper part of the unit is ok and that current reaches this. Also, you can unscrew this connector, with unit in car, to make sure wires have not come off behind it.

Hi Tommy I could see the wires going into the plastic shroud, but I couldn't see how to get access to check the wires going into the units. I there anyway to to get access to the wires, to unscrew the connectors? I found some useful photos at the NSW site: www.amvcnsw.com.au/austin1800/Newsletters/Newsletter06.pdfbut I also found this lovely quote from Herb Simpfendorfer, It would actually be a lot quicker and much less stressful to
take the vehicle to the wreckers, and buy another 1800 with a
good heater on the way home!

What a great and interesting newsletter!
I guess you refer to the two wires entering in front of the heater, visible through the box/ radio hole (if a mk 2). The connector I mentioned, is at the right hand, top end of the unit, seen from inside the car. You need to look up, from below the parcel shelf on the driver's side (if a rhd car) to find it.
At least this is the case with all crabs I've had, and I believe the heaters on Norwegian cars are exactly the same as the UK cars. Not sure about Australian cars.
Tommy.

Hi Tommy
Yes I got in and tested that connection.
I had power - so the issue looks like its e the plastic housing.
It might have to wait till I need to get in closer for some other repair.
Its never cold here but it could be nice to get warm air demisting.
Best regards
Paddy
