More electricals

[QuiteQuietCerb]

Hi everyone seem to be one problem after another. My heater stopped working. Had the Box unit checked And a resistor was burned out . The electronics guy removed it (photo whem removed) and replaced with another one (pink stripy one in photo). The unit still doesn’t work, he needs to know what resistor it To fit the right one is as he couldn’t make out from the old one. Anyone knows or has a pic of it? Or a proper diagram that will tell him what to use Thanks

Is it one of these?

Yes the one that’s blue on the photo was replaced with pink one. Do you know the ohms?

I think its 10 ohm but not 100% but the stripes are a code if you take that picture to maplins or similar, they will be able to tell you and will probably have one. The electronics guy will know now you have the code.

I think that is green yellow Green Blue and brown which would make it 545m Ohm with a tolerance of 1%

Might not be relevant but when my heater blower stopped working I traced it to dodgy connections in a connector block located near the upper passenger door hinge (need to peel away carpet).

Thanks everyone much appreciate it !

Now fixed with the right resistor thanks all

Nice

Cheapest part for the Cerbera?

sigh. as i said, this is not the cause. But when it does go bang it will be expensive for you, especially is more than a 1/4w resistor is used as it will sink even more current before it melts the board around it. But, I can't complain, i just chuckle when these cross my bench.

People wonder why TVR electrics are unreliable....

This. The resistor will be a symptom not a cause.

Common failure?

The cerb I have in at the moment also has had this same resistor replaced. Hopefully this pic gives you an idea of what's fitted to this one. This heater control box works fine by the way so the replacement resistor is valid.
