Occasionally, with the air on full blast, the fan will stop blowing for a few seconds, then come back on. Anyone ever had this happen?   Andrew Vick (Afv) New Member Username: Afv Post Number: 32 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 24, 2003 - 06:32 pm:    Almost everyone I've ever met, including myself. Becomes second nature to tap the switch!   Land Rover Certified Used A**hole (Jason) Senior Member Username: Jason Post Number: 487 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 24, 2003 - 08:19 pm:    Yup, just a loose contact in the switch.   Alyssa Brown (Alyssa) Member Username: Alyssa Post Number: 203 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Tuesday, June 24, 2003 - 08:58 pm:    That's the "flicker" position. Standard on all Lucas equipped vehicles.   Phil (Discoanywhere) New Member Username: Discoanywhere Post Number: 26 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Tuesday, June 24, 2003 - 09:08 pm:    Mine won't work at all now and the fan switch is stuck on hi??

Is there a repair ?   micky dee (Kincangokicker) New Member Username: Kincangokicker Post Number: 14 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 01:48 am:    yes there is a repaire! first try some electrical contact cleaner. that should help in cleaning the contacts. ad some lubricant like wd-40 or k y jelly..this will help to make her slide easier. if that dosent work. remove it and take it to the work bench. breake, bust, crimble it and throw it at thw wall. this will help to remidie a doctors condition called complusive destructive.. than you will have to buy a new switch and install it,   Phil (Discoanywhere) New Member Username: Discoanywhere Post Number: 27 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 06:41 am:    Thanks micky!!...The wall throwing went really well and I'm off to order the new switch!!   Mark McLain (Mtndisco) New Member Username: Mtndisco Post Number: 10 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 08:27 am:    Thanks guys, I'm glad it is just a regular Lucas occurrence!   Joey (Joey4420) Member Username: Joey4420 Post Number: 79 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 05:46 pm:    I know when this happened my first week of Disco Ownership, I asked the local LR Service manager, Nice guy (Charleston WV) he told me that if you put the fan on HI it will kick a relay that is built in so as not to overheat the fan motor. After a few seconds to a minute, the relay will reset itself and start working again. So now I just use postion 3 and it has never kicked off again.
