Hi All

I just bought the car as a runaround for the new puppy so wasn't bothered when the guy told me the air-con and radio didn't work.
After driving it home, the blower wont turn off even when the engine is turned off and the key out the ignition.
I've checked the fuses and they seem fine.
Nothing on the centre console works, no blow control, radio, etc.
But the heated seats work.

Could the radio issue be battery related?
And what about the blower??

Any ideas or tips greatly appreciated.

TIA

Try taking the hedgehog out. It's the (stupid) control for the blower fan.

I’ve now taken the large 50 amp dude out which has stopped the blower working.

Guess I’ll get the car into the garage next week for a check over.
