Herr Doktor Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 The fuse has power, the switch is good but no blowing from the fan. I guess I need a replacement blower unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miniliteman Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Does the fan work when you connect the - side directly to earth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Doktor Posted November 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 I’ll take a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 the heater works from a switched earth, and a constant poitive, the switch has 3 colour coded brown wires,, the centre wire feeds the motor, pre 10/73 cars have a loom wire poke out where later cars have the cigarette lighter, this needs a link wire to earth if there no cigaretter lighter to link it to, that then feeds the switch for the fast side of the twin speed fan, later looms the main earth is taken from the loom itself rather than a link wire, then theres a wire that feeds the other side of the switch for the slow speed fan, this comes out as a 90 degree angled spade terminal connected to a resistor on the steering support plate. from the loom near the heater, there is a double bullet socket that connects the loom to the heater motor wire, the heater wire then connects to the fan with two spade terminals, if you have power at both when the switch is operated, and neither have fallen off/apart, at that point then suspect the motor is at fault, good few years since ive seen you on here Herr Doktor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Doktor Posted December 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Hi Ray, Yeah. I’ve been working abroad for quite sometime and returned to find the Escort, ‘not as I left it!’ I’ve tried all you mention and the motor is definitely kaput. I’m struggling to be able to get hold of one tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerrytom161 Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 He didn’t have any the last time i asked about a year ago when i was building a heater unit, i did manage to get 2 he had at the time but that was quite a while ago.(from memory that was about 2 to 3 years ago ) . I did buy one of the Mk2 Escort/ capri ones you see on e bay and i did manage with a bit of minor adjustment/ filing etc to get it to fit and work but i cant exactly remember how .
