Heater/Blower Fan Works Only On Full Speed

The UKDM (non climate control) has a 4 position resistor pack - the JDM (climate control) has a transistor which adjusts the voltage.

If you've replaced the transistor with a resistor, you'll only get the full speed.

Good point, didn't know that.

Well surely the motor makes no difference, it's just a motor.

The difference will be the transistor/resistor pack.

@newkid - which is yours? If a UKDM with resistor no point sending!!

Yes please, as long as it had climate control as Confused says above, then yes please!

Ahh, did you change just the fan motor, rather than the whole blower assembly?

Yep, as that's all I thought I needed.

Yes it is, but I think when the fan tried to run while seized it has overheated/blown the transistor.

Obviously I didn't find this out until I'd fitted the motor you sent me

I know they are usually referred to as "Royal Fail" but today as far as I'm concerned they are Royal Win
