bluejay Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hi, my heater blower on my'98 V8 only works on full. I believe this is a result of the heater blower resistor burning out. Does anyone know where it is located and where I can buy a new one. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan Grey Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Yep, sounds like the resistor. It is on the blower fan, so you'll have to remove the front access panel in the front bonnet. Not hard to get to. Quote Travis Vulcan Grey 89SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan Grey Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Your V8 may be slightly different than my 89SE, but here's what mine looked like Quote Travis Vulcan Grey 89SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcan Grey Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 SJ Sports cars has a V8 blower (whole assembly) for £105 A082M6619F Or you could find a suitable resistor. http://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/topic/52782-blower-resistor/ Sometimes the crimps get corroded, and you just have to redo the crimps...

bluejay Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Is the resistor actually attached to the motor inside the casing? Just had a look at SJs picture of the blower and there's no sign of the resistor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanj Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 The V8 blower is quite different. Here is one on eBay, with many pictures. http://www.ebay.com/itm/390991777383 Quote Visit Sanj's Lotus Esprit Turbo SE pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
