I'd be careful shorting out the thermal fuse. Something caused it to
'open' and they are installed for a reason.

If you solder it, use the 'heat shunt' method with pliers- like we
used with old fashioned transistors.
what is that then?

Hold the wire, between the body and joint, with pliers while soldering.

As Harry mentioned, wrap the wire first and 'nip it' up. The solder is
really just to stop it shaking.

Unless it overheats, the solder shouldn't really melt in normal use.

If, as it sounds, you've not changed the filter, it could be it has
overheated. Filters should be changed every year at least. They aren't
expensive- I pay between £7 and £20 or so, depending on the car.
Usually a 5 min job.
as I said the specs of the car at the time said it didn't have one being
the basic model......probably has one after all...

Generally only fitted in cars with air-con. If dust and pollen enter the
system whilst the condenser is chilling, theyll stick to the damp
condenser. If you dont have air-con, you dont *need* a filter.

cool well said tim...you are the man .....no air con on mine
