#1 V12 heater resistor

Post by thebluetartan » Sun Sep 19, 2010 8:49 pm

Hi All

As a new member and new E Type owner I have my first question. Only one speed on the blower is working and I would guess after looking at he circuit diagram that the resistor for the slow speed has blown?...... where is it as its not obviously visible. I haven't seen replacements advertised anywhere but I dont know its value so cant even get a modern day version. Any help greatly appreciated.

If it is in the same place as on earlier models, then the resistor is a small black cylinder (about 2" long by 3/8" diameter) mounted on the heater fan body where the wires go into the motor casing.
