Morning, before i start ripping the centre console apart looking for loose connections has anyone any hints or tips why the heater fan doesnt run on my 72? In fact give me a hint where the fan is actually located! Thanks

Thanks for the info, to be fair it’s never worked but I’ve not had the car long and the company that did the resto did a good job on the ‘big bits’ but stuff like this wasn’t on there list! So very useful help thanks.

I've just finished rewiring my 71 and the blower motor took me awhile to figure out. The motor switch is on the heater/ac control so i'd check for 12v there, if not present run a 12v feed to the switch and see if the motor spins, if not then it's probably a dodgy motor or resistor.

Had a similar issue with my '68 - had it 20 years now - heater fan has always worked intermittently - at one time it was earth tag disconnected - currently not working again - must remember when I can be bothered to run a 'hot' wire to the fan and a 'clean' earth and see what happens.......

Hi Steamoilking ( that`ll be `Black oil ` then ? if you know what I am talking about
) . I might be stating the obvious but as it has never worked , have you checked the fuse ? I thought mine had packed up earlier this year and found that I had not put a fuse back in the right slot after doing lots of work on the car ! Derrr !! Fuse box is a bitch to get at on my 1980 C3 and almost requires a headstand in drivers footwell under the dash and steering column . Don`t know if earlier models are the same .

I do not have that problem = I just ask the Wife to tend to the Fuse Box issues she is smaller than I - That reminds me - New Horn Relay is her next job - Good Job she does not read my PostsNo , sorry Rich . All the blood rushed to my head and I dropped the camera

It has been said that if you run a 24 volt supply to your horn it responds much faster and makes more of a 'stand-out' sound?

Ha ha Xmas finally arrived
I also have issues with heater and horn
Mine is a 71 A/C car but the compressor has been removed, and looks like the power to the fan has also been disconnected ??? Anyone tell me what wiring should go to the old A/C heater motor?
Again I might just run a hot wire to it and see if I can get it working
Horn works from the relay no problem but the horn push doesn’t do anything- I think it might be a broken wore in the column

I don`t have any hands on experience on earlier model C3`s ( my car is 1980 ) but I am sure someone on the forum can advise and may have a wiring diagramme for your car . I have also found Googling Wilcox Corvette Inc. in the States a very usefull source of info with wiring diagrammes , headlight vacuum stystem diagrammes etc etc and ` How To`s ` on Youtube . Do simple stuff first like check fuse on the blower circuit then go on from there . Good Luck .
