My X350 air conditioning has stopped, it looks like the fan is not working as no air is emitting from the vents. So the first thing I should check is the fuse, but where the devil is the CABIN FUSE BOX ? I would expect it to be somewhere under the dash, but cannot see it or any panel to pull down. Help needed.

 

right hand kick panel. usually this failure is the blower motor resistor

the upgraded part is significantly more expensive so just buy the original. hella 3153721764

 

Thanks Xalty, the fuse looks good, so where is the resistor?

Thanks again Xalty, it looks a fair bit more involved than I anticipated.

 

Not that a bad a job, take your time, read the instructions, ask questions.

 

Thanks Wingrider, I am searching to see if I can find a module in Australia as to get one from overseas could take up to a couple of months and we are just starting our summer and A/C is almost mandatory.

 

It will be repairable with a new power transistor and/or thermal fuse.

If you are interested let me know a I will see if I can find my post which

I wrote many years ago on the UK forum.

 

Thanks Meirion, If I can locate a module then I will be doing the job. The directions from Xalty look comprehensive, however if you can find your wright up I would appreciate it as you can never have too much information.

 

Does anyone know when Jaguar changed over to the updated control module from the initial problematic one? my car is a 2006 build.

I can't find my original post on the UK forum.

It was in 2008! and I think it's gone into the archives permanently.

 

I have found and ordered a module from the main Jaguar/LandRover dealer. It has to be shipped from Melbourne so by mid next week things should be cool once again.

 

Whilst I am awaiting my new module to arrive I thought I would tackle the job of glove box removal. So a couple of questions.

1. I am guessing I do not need to take off the glove box lid. Is this correct?

2. The diagram/instructions in the workshop manual (item 2) instructs to "Reposition the glove box compartment shelf" with a picture showing it. My glove box does not have this shelf so do I just disregard this bit?

3. Just confirming the screws to be removed circled in the photo (and 2 more on the other side) and the small one arrowed.

4. Item 5 in the manual states to remove screws from the upper part of the glove box. I am assuming they are inside the box but mine are missing. There are 4 holes where it looks like screws should be but are missing (taken off sometime ago and not replaced?) But the diagram shows 5 screws and bolts, where are the bolts?

I am a bit nervous about doing this job.

 

There is, or was a shelf inside the glove box.
I don't remember removing the lid.
Just follow the instructions, & find ALL the fasteners.
Getting it out, & back in is a bit of a pain, just be patient.
It will come out, & go back in, the insulation on mine, didn't survive though.
