air conditioning

[Tuscan Wil]

Said who TVR A/C is no good. I had mine on (when it is 17 degree outside and sunny) and it was actually turning quite cold and had to switch it off. However it is not all the rosey. It has been working perfectly until yesterday. Took my car out for a run around, no heating, no air coniditoning, in fact no air coming out from the vents at all. Any idea?

Can you hear the flap motor running when you change the temperature control ?

If its a Mk2 you can see the flap setting changing on Screen 14 of the SERVICE area.

I could when it was working. I heard nothing.

So anyone got any ideas!?!?

Possible heater motor blown? Have you checked the fuse?

[so called]

I dont have AC on my Tuscan but the vent fan motor stopped running last Christmas.
Turned out to be a burnt out contact on the plug connector of the motor control unit.
I think it was about 100 quid for a new one.
Good luck,
Tony.
PS Thanks for the photoshop work you did for me.

There is a 4 pin plug under the dash (passanger side) connected to the heater controller (search heater flap or look in Grahams manual for picture). Whilst this can cause other faults such as stuck heater flap, I know everything stops if its disconnected so one of those pins might have melted or be making poor connection.

About £50 to fix if its bust, company in Luton near me fixes them:

Thank you guys. I will check it out this evening. I am hoping it was a poor connection. The carpet came off on the passenger foot well and i was trying to put it back and perhaps I knocked off the connection.

Tony, no problem with the photoshop job. It was really easy, it was more difficult to work how to upload the image
