hey guys.

before you say it. yes i did search these forums and a few others.

problem i have with my car is my heater fan wont turn off.

i thought it wouldnt turn ON but the plug on the fan was disconnected.

so when i press the fan speed button and set it to full it speeds up slightly.

but i can get the darn thing to turn off without unplugging it!

any ideas would be a great help. sorry if this has been covered but ive searched as much as i can and tried to nut it out myself for hours. most of my intereor is on the garage floor. knowing my luck its probably a relay, but im sure ive checked them all...

thanks in advance.

-Chris

It might be that the fan speed control resistors have shorted. There's an assembly that screws into the side of the fan housing unit 'behind' the glove box. It will have a 4/5 wire electrical connector attached and is usually held by a couple of screws. It has a series of 4 or so wire coils (resistors) which control fan speed. One or all might be shorted or just need cleaning. That's all I can think of.

thanks ill have a look tomorrow after work, its a bit dark out atm.

i dont suppose you have any pics? might help me locate it.

are you talking about the thing with the fins that screws into the white box thats right behind the glovebox? or into the fan itself?

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise

    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
