Interior Fan Not Working

Post by jamescarruthers » Fri Sep 28, 2018 12:52 pm

The car is back together but the interior fan doesn't work. I haven't had time to look in to anything other than fuses. Does anyone have any top tips?

I'm leaving for the Hampshire meeting in a few hours! Can live without fan but it would be nice to have it working for the trip.‎

No thanks. Fan is strong, I think my VEM needs to go on holiday to NL, as the bulbs don't work (new ones obvs.). Or the fan might have just not liked the jet wash the engine bay got. Thanks though Jeff
