- Heater Blower not working - richard1159
I have just bought my daughter a 1.1 Saxo SX. All fine, except the heater blower in the car doesn't work. When the switch is turned on, the engine revs reduce which I assume means that power is getting through to the switch, but not activating the blower.

Not being very car mechanically minded, is this a common fault? Is it likely to be the fan is seized or possibly something else? Any help would be very gratefully received.

Thank you

Hi Richard,
there are numerous threads on this subject on this site.
The cause is the ignition switch. It happened on my neices Saxo and needed replacing. A common fault with this type of car. If you bought it from a garage, take it back and get them to replace it. If not, you're saddled with approx £100 repair bill as you need a specialist to get the lock out - take it from me, its a nightmare!!!

Richard,

I can see you're new to the site, go to "Forum Search" on the right, put "saxo" and "Heater" into the subject line and search and you should find the threads mentioned, this is why we ask for the model and fault in the subject line....
