Climate Control fan Speed

The fan for the climate control seems to be only working at one speed and a high one at that. The speed doesn't increase/decrease when I push the +/-.



Any thoughts before I have to call the shop?



Thank you


Resistor module has gone to Heaven...

What am I lookiing at to have it fixed?

Thanks

You should be able to purchase the Resistor Module and replace it yourself. It is a common failure point on E32/E34/E36 so there are a number of DIY articles for those models. You will need to locate one for the E39, it will not be very difficult but will involve some in-dash or under dash work.

Cheers, Bob

It's a pretty easy DIY swop. Cost (doing a rough UK to US conversion) about $100. Do a Google on BMW E39 final stage resistor replacement. It's situated behind the heater unit and accessible from the passenger foot well after removing the cover and carpet trim on the side of the gearbox tunnel.

Thanks to all. And Dave, I haven't visited this group in abit. I always enjoy you idioms, axioms or adages.
