Heater fan stopped working, between stopping the car one day and starting it a few days later.
I bypassed the control box connector two years ago.
I have had a happy half hour in the footwell this morning, pulling every possible fuse per the Steve Heath bible fuse board diagrams, and the one in my handbook. All fine.

Any other suggestions please? I have allocated the whole of Monday to working on the car.

Same happened to mine,having bypassed the brown power wire a few years ago.

I discovered the other main power wire (yellow, I think) had burnt through as well. So now I have both a brown and a yellow wire soldered to my circuitboard, bypassing the buggered connector.

Took a while to find, so re-check the connector for a second stuffed connection.

Thanks Rick. Soldering iron coming with me on Monday (day at my TVR expert's workshop, doing a list of jobs on his 4post ramp). I suspected it might be more than a fuse, but thanks for the suggestion Jojackson, I will change the fuses as well.

They are for the cooling fans NOT the cabin heater fan.
