TD5 Fan control install?
Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has any experience replacing the fan control on a TD5. I snapped the lever on mine and have the new part coming tomorrow.

Any tips or trick I need to know about before diving in to fix it?

Thanks a lot.

Dead easy. If its fhe tempratue and divertor side just remove the cover by the drivers window (rhd) and undo the cable clmaps etc. If its the other side remove the 4 screws that hold the clocks in and remove.
Then undo the screws that hold the fan speed control to the panel and make a note of the three wires and disconnect and make not of the position of the cable and undo.

Refitting is just the reversal 2014 - current ..... 2003 defender td5 90 (my car)
2009 - current .... 2005 zx10r

Hmm.

Just opened the fan controller.

Looks like it comes with a new cable. If I take off the cable not sure how secure it will be if I hook up the old one. I guess I'll look up in the repair manual, if I can find it, how to hook up the new cable...

I don't really like the big slider control for the 2 speed fan, looking at the wiring diagram, you should be able to change it for a 3 position rocker switch ( of suitable current carrying capacity ), the resistor to give the low speed looks like its in the fan unit, not the switch itself, has anyone done this ?

I agree. The slider is terrible. Amazing it can't just be done on a rotating switch...

Translation:

Ventilation and heating of the interior of a Land Rover Defender depends on the heater fan. This heater fan speed is adjustable by means of a position switch that can run softer fan via resistors.
This rule is also the source of a poor and inefficient working fan making ventilation, heating and demisting of the vehicle is inadequate. Only in the TD4 models from Land Rover is an adaptation came on the stove and fan unit, for all Defender models to TD4 we have devised an electronic control.

This electronic control replaces the existing switch and control resistors and sends the current fan motor directly. This direct control of the fan motor will be adjustable and in many cases have a higher air output. As a result demisting will function better and the interior heater to get a better return so that the vehicle can be quickly heated.

The application of this modification requires some skill and assembly tools, so this modification includes assembly can be purchased in our workshop in Dordrecht.
