Land Rover Freelander heater/fan switch not working

I have a Land Rover Freelander V6 2.5, auto, X-reg. All of a sudden the heating/fan switch has stopped working, completely. None of the 4 speeds work. Gets a little cold and misty inside at this time of year.
Checked the fuses under the bonnet and all are OK. When selecting any of the speeds though the AC light does come on so the switch is doing something, just not turning the fan on. Will plugging it into the diagnositcs computer at the local mechanics help? Any ideas please?

    Thanks mate. I'll give it a try. However this kit says it fixes the speeds 1 & 2 on the switch. None of my 4 speeds are working. Will this still be appropriate?

    Hi how did you fix your heater as my switch only works on speeds 3 & 4.... Cheers

    Just had the window all the way down and now it won't go up again.
    I have checked the fuses. I have pulled the fuse to the rear viper and I have also disconnected the battery.
    None of the above fixed my problem.
    I can hear that there is connection between the switch and lift when i push "down" but not "up"
    What causes this and how do I fix it?

Yes it could be the fan resistors that have gone, but it is usually just fan speeds 1 and 2 that go, not all of them, so you may need to trace the power all the way through the resistors to the motor.
if it is the resistor pack then this video should help, it is doing the job on an MG Rover, but the same pack is used and similar location I think.

I have a 2002 Land Rover Freelander that is stuck in Park. The stop light switch has been replaced with an autozone part, but it still does not work. The break lights are also not working.

This might help you. Otherwise, just find a mechanic you trust and have him or her check the brake light bulbs. It could also be fuse problems. Check the diagram for your lights or check your manual. http://forums.edmunds.com/discussion/5166/land-rover/freelander/freelander-transmission-problems

Hi, on my 02 Land Rover Freelander HSE, my air con/ heating fan has completely stopped working - Any ideas on what it could be?

ck your heater fan fuse first , that might have 2 places with fuses for that , if they are not blown look for maybe a relay for it also , next see if you are getting power to your heater fan if you are then you fan will need replaced but I really never seen a fan go unless there was something stopping it from turning keep e posted

Freelander heater switch 1997

the fan works at different speeds by switching to a different resister for the given speed. A common fault is the resister pack has a thermal overload/cutout which over time corrosion sets in and it breaks down. When you find the pack [normally under bonnet and in the motor cowling ]although not necessarily, you will see agroup of wires 4/5 remove the pack locate the thermal cutout ,bridge it and test ,if the fan works on all speeds #replace the unit# , we don't want a fire do we??. the information that i have supplied is for general electrical principles , and unless your freelander has computor controlled heating the principles will be the same. if it is computor controlled it could get expensive .Good luck i hope that i have helped in some way. Pat.
