Heater playing silly-b's

Just a quickie.

The heater on the Silver car has been playing up of late. It has had a slight squeak in it for ages (bearing?) and when the sqeaking starts the speed of the fan would slow a bit, but other than that its been fine. Recently though it has progressed to a more annoying state of not working at all at times! Its only happened once or twice, but on the mornings in question you turn the switch and....nothing. Not even a squeak. After driving for 10 mins or so it has suddenly started working again.

I suspect it is switch related and nothing to do with the bearing noise, but I'm not too sure. Has anyone had this happen to them yet / before? :help:

A sqirt WD40 sorted out my squeak but you then get the smell of WD40 in the car :blush:

Mine's being doing this since i got it 4 or 5 years have tried several switches and no change.

seems to clear up with mine as the car warms up after 10 mins or so

"As always I stand to be corrected but surely thats the end of the blower motor? :dunno: "

that's what i thought so got a spare but it's never got any worse and it blows fine most of the time? :dash: and i've seen what it takes to change it!
