Mine went in for the Heater recall some time ago, and ever since I've not been convinced that the heater has been working.

So, I thought, whilst I'm rebuilding the centre console following some remodelling by the local stereo thieves, I'd check the wiring to the heater.....



Sure enough, neither the heater power wires ( the red and black HD wires ) nor the "full hot" switch wires ( the two green wires ) are connected to anything.

The strange part is.....There is no sign anywhere of the connectors that these two should be plugged into, or even any wires that remotely resemble them.

I know it has nothing to do with the stereo being yanked out, as I noticed these two connectors before that, I just needed to confirm that they were the heater wires.

Anybody got any ideas as to exactly what the recall was supposed to involve ?, because it is looking to me like the job was only half done.

the large black and red wires the plugs should have been cut off and the wires joined back together with crimped joiners and a short piece of wire added in to make up the length
the smaller plug should not have been touched

[Twister]

That's just the thing, there's no wires there for them to join to.

Oh well, another trip back to the dealers   .

if it worked before the wires must be there not tucked behind the sound proofing   normally that plug is right on the bulkhead

Just phoned the dealers who did the work , and they reckon it was done in Nov 06, and the recall involved fitting a new ceramic heater     .

useless *beep* it doesn't involve a new ceramic heater at all just as grandad said it's cut the plug out and rejoin the ends with 2 pieces of wire you get in the kit and 4 crimpable rings

I know this is dragging up an old thread, but I've finally got it sorted ( ish    )

Just spent the whole day going through the wiring for the ceramic heater. I've had both fuse boxes out, and pretty much all of the dash apart trying to trace wiring to finally get it working again. I was going to rewire it, but getting to the feed off the back of the fan switch looked like being a real *beep*. Also I wanted to know why I couldn't find the original loom   .

Found it eventually. The two plugs had been disconnected, and the loom stuffed up behind the heater box !  Whoever the Tosspot was at the main dealer who did this even went to the trouble of putting the loom inside the main harness clips and taping round it so it looked like part of the main loom .

Problem sorted finally   , but the dealer in question is going to get an earfull on Monday (It's going to take me all day tomorrow to put it all back together   ) , and then they can do the recall properly .
