Blower stays on full, regardless of what the dial is set on. Can’t switch it off at all. Does stop when ignition is switch off though. Any ideas? Thanks

Is there a fan off position on your controller? When the fan only goes to high, that indicates that the blower motor module ( resister ) has failed and needs replaced. Or less likely that the control panel has failed.

Thanks for the reply. Yes it does have an ‘off’ position, which is currently redundant. I suspected it was the resistor that’s packed up, so many thanks for reconfirming that is the case…
