Heating Issues Fiat Punto 2002 Sign In

Hello.

I have a problem with my heating system on my Fiat punto Elx.

Yesterday evening I accidently left my interior light on in my car for about an hour and a half. When i returned to my car I found that my heating system would not work, No cold air nor hot air would come through the vents. Also when i turned my lights on i noticed that backlights on the symbols on the heating controls no longer worked.

Could this be a fuse problem?

I'm not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to cars, so excuse me for my non technical terms.

Thank you in advance.

Troy.

First thing to do is check all the fuses.

Hi Jeff

Checked all fuses they are all fine. Battery is measuring 12v so that seems ok. Other forum responses think it might be the heater fan resistor?

Thanks

Don't see many Fiats in my neck of the woods but a resistor is possible. I don't have any wiring diagram information available so I wonder what a bad resistor would have to do with the back lights on the control head. Just a thought. May or may not be related to your problem.

If that's with engine running it's not enough.

To add to Jeff's post - check fuses with a test light and bulbs might have overheated. Dunno but would check,
