00 1.8TD Heater Problems - sdeccles
Hi All,
I have a 2000 X Fiesta 1.8TD, and I have gone through two heater control Circuit boards in as many weeks. Accompanied by the smell of electrical burning. I also replaced the valve under the bonnet less than two years ago, and it seems that this has failed again.
I dont mind replacing the valve, but I am looking to just replace the failed components on the circuit boards, but as they are damaged I cannot read the info on them.
The component that has failed is just above the connector socket and to the right (has three prongs on the left, one on the right), can anyone tell me what is written on them and confirm what I think they are! (Darlington Transistors in a SOT-223 package for the electronically minded). I have no problems wielding a soldering iron.
Many Thanks

Simon
