2000 Vs Ute
Heater still not working (kinda sucks this time of year, murphys law right.....)
Rang up the service people, weren't really helpful and admitted they are basically a call centre for their techs. Annoyed I couldn't talk to a tech.

But a few messages to a few mates and then it dawned on me.
Fault finding thought process skipped over a simple one (which bugs me cos its my trade and elec fault finding is something I do alot of)
Found the problem. Figured out how to decipher the error code from the LEDs.

Still no heater as only just ordered the part (Motor Capacitor)
But should save alot of Dollarydoos from needing a "specialist" who in most cases probably wouldn't fault find and would likely fire up the parts cannon.

Still annoyed with myself it took longer than it should have to not have been having a brain fart moment.

Is this on the VS? I was going to suggest that but I thought it only controlled the motor speed? Or was the issue? Unless we are talking about a different part? The one I'm referring to is under the wiper cowl.

Things That Piss Me Off…

The forum adverts, haha, when I load into a new page & see something I like to go to select it & then an advert pops up & I’ve clicked on that instead of the post, haha.

This is on a mobile.

Yep, I was looking at the "Pic of the Day "a while back and couldn't work out what the last pic was then I realised it was an ad.
