Title: Interior fan not working / CD Changer stopped working
Post by: rengti on June 09, 2012, 06:11:01 pm
Hi all,

Done a search on both and either didn't look hard enough, or couldn't find the answer!

Firsty,

I keep turning my "climate control" on and it lights up and can hear it turning on with a click and slight buzz but the fan isn't working on any setting!? Try turning it to full blast and nothing, not on any level so i'm confused...fuses look ok but not checked internally.

Any ideas what this might be?

Secondly,

My 6 disc CD changer used to work no problem, all off a sudden every single CD says "CD error" and won't load up...they're all genuine CDs too so i'm abit mystified with this one!

Any help on the above (mainly the heater!) would be great as wit the weather as it has been the last few days...things get abit steamy!

Many thanks in advance

 I can't help with your climate control, but I have had the same problem with my cd changer. I'm afraid it's most likely terminal though. It seems it's probably a laser failure. Couldn't do anything to get mine working and it would be too expensive to be worth getting fixed. I just removed mine and replaced it with a cubby slot. You could try using a CD lens cleaner just in case, but it did nothing for me.

Ok thanks for the tip on that, it's a shame really but ah well i don't exactly miss it...i've got an IPOD cable in my glovebox that doesn't work either so i'm annoyed about that! I'd be well happy if i got that working.

Any ideas regarding the heater blower from anyone? That's really bugging me at the moment! Maybe a simple air-con gas re-charge perhaps?
