vauxhall astra td problems with heater - mr2 mk1
just bought a diesel estate for work it is a 2000 astra estate diesel 1.7dti.
The problem im hving is my heater has packed up.It doesnt let any air through at all.But today i started car up and it came on.But its not working again,can anyone help please.Ive tried taking the stereo out but struggling with that.
Does anybody have any ideas what can be wrong?
Could it be something wrong or lose wires?Also the lights doesnt work well on the heater panel.
Thanks for any help or advice in advance

If the resistor pack has gone, the fan should still work on the fastest setting as the resistor pack is only there for the slower speeds. This sounds like a switch fault to me.

it must have that dreadful panel below the radio then where the switches are made of cardboard,i can only suggest you take this out (there are some congealed screws)and check the connections on the board as they seem to suffer also from dry joints.(good luck as all the scrapyard ones always seem to have gone)

Get a coat hanger and manufacture into the shape of the following picture:-

Then poke down the holes.
