I have an X-reg Focus 1.8 LX with air con.

Whilst driving to work this morning (Friday 19th March), the heater fan suddenly packed in working and will not work on any setting.

I switched the air con button on (although I never use it in winter) to see if this made a difference and no light came on.

This has never happened before, and just asking anyone out there what I need to do to fix it.

Could it just be the fuse or is it something else?

I'd appreciate any help on this matter.

Thanks

Can't answer your question but welcome to foc you don't live far from me.

I would check the fuse first, just to take that out of the equation.

Thanks.

I used to have a Fiesta too before the Focus as well.

Firstly welcome to the club.

As said before try the fuse first, it's always the first and cheapest solution for problems like that for me so give that a try first I'd say.

I can't see it being a loose connection behind the fan switch because of the air-con failing as well.

Just checked the fuse, and that doesn't seem to be the problem.

I bet this is going to cost a fortune to fix

My dad (who also has a Focus - a 53-plate TDCi Zetec) is trying to have a look at it though.

It now makes me now wonder if I should now part-ex it or sell it for scrap as a last resort.

Got it fixed!

It turned out the heater switch had gone kaput. Got one from a Ford garage for just £20.

Only thing now is, the radio will now need to be re-coded....
