The heater fan motor is powered by the switch via a resistor block in the heater housing for speeds 1 to 3. Speed 4 is powered via a relay, which is switched on by the fan control switch. As least that's how I remember it working. It's been many years since I've had to diagnose fan issues on a FL1.

Can the heater motor be removed without taking the full heater housing out ,

Yes, but it's a bit fiddly due to it being to the left of the pedals.

Cheers, I've been told it cant be the resistor at fault because none of the settings are working and usually 1 setting will still work if the resistor is caput

That's generally true, as speed setting 4 bypasses the resistor block altogether.

@Nodge68 ,
They just said check motor but at the moment the weather is not playing ball it's ridiculous
