Interior fan Astra f.

[Wayno]

So as you know ive bought an astra f 160ie full house. As with most f series the interior fan resistor gives in,so has mine,i removed it and noticed its very rusted,which and this causes the termals to break off,so I check ok the inside should still be fine,grinded the spots where the termals was and solderd on my own(the yellow spade in the pic),then fitted it and oh hel it worked! If I new it would work I would of took step by step pics,sorry. Saved R575.50 . Rum money.

Wayno , please please I beg of you please can I bring my car around for you to sort that out please i have the same problem since I bought the car its needs a resistor.

I really need my interior fan to work

[Wayno]

Take out your resistor then I will convert it for you. Its just 1 screw.

[TAUzty]

ok cool will take it out the wkend thanks so much .

I had to do the same thing, it is been working fine for 4 years already

Recently my fan stopped working between 1 and 3. Only works when it’s on level 4. And it works well but is this a sign that it’s on its last legs.

F-series is not a normal opel LOL

Lol, Most of the gadgets actually still works in my car except for the AC which never worked since I bought it, and the rear window demister. And the fan only works on level 4. Other than that it seems ok.

Ek dink my kar was op n maandag gebou.

Mine us to work on all 4 then all of sudden not one of them worked.
You guys think it could be something else then the resistor coz I see some of you guys still work on level 4

Definately the resistor ms s

Guys essential tools required for us DIY guys:
1. Digital Multimeter ( Dont have to be fancy but Fluke meters real good).
2. Soldering iron (Gas soldering irons handy ) and soldering wire.
3. Handy stuff like wires resistors diodes for when u need it.

Now u can DIY or FIY(Fix it youself ) yourself just like Sterling.

Any idea on what type of size ohm resistors and diodes??

[GFunk]

Brutjie resistors for LEDS is so 560 ohm - 2k7 ohms .
For other stuff u can get equivalent value resistor of lets say 0.1 ohms to 1 ohm and boost up the wattage to 5 or 10 watt.
Diodes 1n4007 diodes for general work up to 1 amp .For higher amps u can look at 1n5401 series or better.

Wayno I remember when I pull out the fuse for the fan at the fuse box and then I put it back in then the fan would makke the clicking sound. Do you think it would still be the resistor?

[Gouraami]

if it is not working on 4 it is probably the fan motor, accepting the fuse and wiring is ok
