Hi,

Air con system works fine and blows cold on normal settings but the ‘Max Air’ button doesn’t work (also not lit up if it’s supposed to be) - anyone any ideas? Fuse maybe? (If so, which one please!)

Cheers,

Fish.

Not sure if this will help, as I don't know which model you have, if it's an L322, it doesn't sound like a fuse problem as the whole system works through a PCB buried inside the climate control panel unit, so sounds like a switch failure or a problem with the PCB. Used climate control panel units look like costing from £35 at the cheapest, it's quite a simple job to exchange units if you are handy with the tools.
The climate control unit, controls/switches/PCB are all in one interchangeable block, just disconnect the 5 sets of connectors / wiring, after partially pulling out unit.
Hope someone else has a more definitive answer for you soon. Good luck.

Didn't know it got hot in Aberdeenshire in February !!!!

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the reply! Yes, sorry - it’s a 2003 TD6 HSE model.

So it’s best to try a new panel? I’ll pick up one from eBay / breaker and have a go. Was hoping it was simply a fuse etc but sounds an easy enough swap.

Ha! It got up into the + figures yesterday and there was this weird yellow ball thing in the sky for a few minutes!

Many thanks again,

Fish.

Hi Fish
I forgot to add the link to a video for removing the climate control panel. It's one of the many videos from powerful UK.



When you get another unit it may be a good idea to air blow the little cooling fan built into the unit, prior to fitting as dust / dirt can build up there over time. I think the fan is there to suck air into the temp sensor for the unit.

Hope you see more of that yellow ball thingy

Awesome buddy, cheers!!

Not too much I hope, us Scots spontaneously combust in too much sunlight!
