Centre consol smoking!!!!

<< < (2/3) > >>

gtomo2:
The smoke could be from the fuse melting. try a fuse with the heater off. then switch on to first speed that wil be under 10amp so it should not blow the fuse. if it starts to melt at the first postion it will be your motor on its way out drawing to many amps. you should only need a 20 amp fuse when running the heater on full power.

simon15:
I shall try a new fuse break time and see what happens.

but the smoke is coming out from around the handbrake and up through the cubby hole in between the seats.

gtomo2:
A melting fuse will make a lot of smoke. and the fuse box is by the left side of the heater controls so the smoke will find a route out and that may be the easyest route for it. or if its the motor the somke will be coming out of the floor vents and will go up and get trapped in the consle and find its onw way out. if you put the vent settings on demist it will come up through the window demisters as well. Me thinking it will be the motor bushes on there way out if the wiring looks ok.

simon15:
Checked th manual and its suppose to be a 20A so put one in put the heater on the first speed and even the 20A started melting after a couple of seconds.

so definatly the heater motor then yeah??

Cheers
