Need to replace both blower ccc7522/ccc7523 in my 1995 XJS,
How do you remove dash board?
where are both blower ??
I found a place that sell replace unit with 1 year warranty

The big Issue removing dash board

Help me Keep this Kitty cat Cool

 

I only have experience of a pre-facelift. But on a pre-facelift you do not need to remove the dash to change the blowers, just remove the knee/shin level trim. The blowers on pre-facelifts are held in by two bolts and long brackets, but once the brackets are removed, you need to open the sprung-closed flaps on the bottom of the blowers to release the top flap from the bodywork flange to actually remove the blower unit.


Obviously this is easier dash out and steering column out, but it is worth having a go before you do remove it. Facelift owners may be kind enough to correct me!

Thanks
I have a 1995 XJS do any pictures or manual showing how to remove both blower,
would be a big Help

jaguar_libra,

Hi, what makes you think that you need to replace the fans? What are the symptoms that you are experiencing?

Paul

 

No fans at all, check the ECU for the AC unit all voltage are correct, check all relays working find, apply power to blower motors, No fans at low or mid or high.

 

jaguar-libra,

It sounds strange for both fan motors to go at the same time. When you're applying power direct to the fan motors, are you sure that you're bypassing the Darlington transistors which are the usual cause of all fan problems in XJSs?

Hi yes I did bypassed the Darlington transistor circuit, blower fans work when full voltage is apply, the main fault is the over all design, You have a control circuit exposed to moist air from the AC unit. Over time water drops build up on the open unprotected circuit.
If only Jaguar had this circuit cover from moist air. the control circuit will last,
I have used and design analog circuits for 30 years, this beat the over all worst location I have seen,
So I have order two rebuild blower, Next I spend a weekend replacing them. I will take picture and video showing how easy I hope or hard to remove units

 

Jaguar_libra,

If the fans do work when you apply voltage direct, why are you replacing them? It sounds more like the usual problem of the Darlington transistors having corroded and thus not controlling fan speed appropriately.

Cheers

Paul
