Thread: No Radio & No A/C (Fan). Which Relay?

It's a D2a (2003).

I've had to do this, and unfortunately, while it was intermittent, the extra heat in dry joint (due to resistance) melted a small part of the fuse box. I also found the fuse holder had widened a little, either due to heat or me pulling the fuse in and out, and needed to be tightened up a bit. Somewhere on this site is a picture of the fuse board and the spot that has a dry joint. It only affects the AC fan.

This is a pic from the back of my fuse box, showing the dry solder joint.
I had the same issue with the fan operating only when it wanted to.
Fuse Box is a pain to remove, but not hard, just a lack of space.

Same problem, blower would work when it felt like it.


Having done the research on here and completely ignoring the KISS principle, I removed the fuse box under the steering column and of course no dry joint and blower still doesn't go.


Then did what I should have done first and removed the relay, tapped it, reconnected and blower works until I turn the car off and back on


Rang local LR Stealers here in Brisbane and was told there is none in Aus, will have to get ex UK and price is $193.75!!!!!


So I have tried ebay etc with no success.


Has anyone sourced a heater blower relay for a reasonable price?

Have a look under its Denso number.

Not what you want to hear but......

I had my A/C serviced. (full service, regas, filters etc ~$700). Apparently they are meant to be serviced every 4 years.

Prior to the service the A/C was working for the two days leading up to the service albeit intermittently. No problems since.

With regards to the radio it was still stuffed for a good week / 2 weeks after the A/C was serviced but like the A/C it has also now came good.

Everything is working.

I think it had something to do with the harness that connects to the fuse/relay box under the hood as I replaced my Master Cylinder Reservoir around the same time. Some dodgy connection somewhere there but who really knows.

@RoundaWhile, can send a genuine brand new blower relay out to you but it'd still be $108, let me know though.
