Hi all,
Settings 1 and 2 on the wife's Rover 214 blower motor don't work, I guess part of the resistor pack has gone open circuit, does anyone know where it is located on this model ?

Not done it but apparently you have to remove the glove box. You will thne be able to remove the muiltiplug from the resistor pack, which is secured to the top of the heater by two screws.
To remove the glove box. Release two turnbuckles and remove the lower closing panel. Remove two screws securing glove box to fascia.

I might have dived in ! That's for the latest shape 200.

When I read an online review of the old 214 his blower didn't work unless it was set to 2. On my Rover 214 my blower doesn't work until it's set to 2 or above.
Perhaps it's a "feature"

On almost any car the 1 circuit is used for speeds 1, 2 and 3. The 2 circuit is used for speeds 2 and 3. The 3 circuit is used only for speed 3. Therefore 1 fails first because it's used most.

If you haven't got to the resistor pack yet, it might be easier to check the switch first. Mine fell apart, stopped working on 1 first, then the other settings. Just a thought.
Not in this case, speed 4 (the highest) is a direct ground path from the blower motor, speed 3 introduces 1 resistor, speed 2 introduces another (2 in series) and speed 1 introduces another (i.e. 3 resistors in series), therefore the resistor associated with speed 3 is used the most (because it is in circuit for all speeds except 4).
My guess is that resistor 2 is open circuit as speed 1 and 2 don't work.
I have checked the switch and that is ok.
So where is the resistor pack on this model ?????
