ODD issue with AC switch i think?

[thekow]

Ok guys , my car just just started to do some wierd things with the AC
If i turn it on auto it just stays on 0 fan blades and stays on setting 0 (not getting faster than auto adjusting the blowers or recirc flaps). So i try it manually and 0-4 fanblades is the same. Once i hit high then the speed changes . The AC works , its cold but it seems the speed of the blower doesn't work . 0-4 the same , high = normal .

Anything i should do or check , it's just a little annoying right now.

mate sounds like the fan resistor is cactus mate. it is located behind the glovebox and held in with 2 screws and a connector for the wires. the fan works on high because high speed goes through a relay and not the resistor. only a 10 minute job to replace but wouldn't know how much the part is. let us know how you go.:thumbsup:

If its a climate control i dont think it will be that simple,more likely a fan speed module,but sure as to where to find it on a VX though.

Any guides on pulling that section of the car out?

you will first have to remove the glovebox, then the side plastic vent beware of the screws inside the vents, you then need to just take all the screws out around the edge of the glovebox inside top and the large plastic panel will come out. you should then see the air con, heater assembly. right where the small metal bar for the glovebox support ran you should see a plug and a small plastic thing about the size of a matchbox. that is the resistor or fan module. both should be in the same place.

Is it white and have like a 4-8 pin plug on it ? Or am i looking at the wrong thing?

I've never actually seen one but I'm sure that is it.

I went to the wreckers looked at a commo with the dash removed , i am not sure what thing i am looking at to replace. Is it this thing?
Weird thing it start working again the other day , then died again today . Now on high it goes , then after like 2 mins . It stops , waits 3 seconds then starts again.

mate you are looking directly at it in your last picture. could have a broken wire inside? older ones used to not sure about vt can't remember the last time i saw mine. it still works on high speed because it goes straight through a relay and not the resistor. hope this helps.
