My 9-3 vector was going well, and then the cabin heater just stopped working at the time I need it the most. I haven't had a proper nosey around by removing the scuttle panel but I'm pretty sure no leaves etc are under there to clog anything up. Any ideas on how to get it working?

So is the fan motor still spinning? And just not giving heat?

I can't hear it, so I'm going to go with a no.

Ok so could be a dud fan motor

Mine was making a stupid ammount of noise so replaced it. Bit odd for it to just stop working overnight though.

If you are handy then the glovebox needs removing then fairly easy access to the motor from there. Three screws holding it in place. Drop it out and go from there.

Not sure if same but on previous 9-3 you can do a climate reset by pressing two buttons together, I think it's off and auto the two diagonally opposite ones

Have you sorted it yet? I completely lost all heating control. I had a quick look in the book at the fuses and pulled the 2 fuses in the passenger side next to the glove box and put them back. It worked a treat. Maybe one had worked loose or I reset something. It was the big fuse and fuse 18 if I recall correctly but the manual tells you.

Not sorted yet, no. Truth be told, I've not had the time to look at it.

I will try the fuse trick, but I really doubt it is that.
