Series 3 heater
By: CountyDorset Date: January 30, 2016, 9:19 am

So, have fitted a nice reconditioned Smith's heater to my S3.
Connected it all up and it doesn't work.
Have tested the fan with direct 12v feed it's fine.
Have taken power from the wiper switch to the heater switch, and
it works.
Have checked the power to the heater switch, nothing. But the
fuse under the steering column looks fine.
Has anyone else had this issue, or any odea what the problem is
please?

You need a multimeter or test probe. Start at the heater fan and
work back until you find the break in the circuit.
It could be the fan switch, have you tried bypassing the switch,
or checked that you have a 12V feed to the switch?

There's no 12v to the switch. Is there a fuse (apart from under
the steering column) in between the battery and the switch?

Found it: fuse behind the dashboard.

Found this gem on ebay. Wasn't much either. Doesn't kick out as
much air as I'd like to be honest. Must see if the air piping
in the dash is ok.

Isn't that resistor thingy supposed to be inside the heater? It
is on my series 3 ???
