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...

ha ha NONE....one less expense...tee hee
free flowing.....I like that
no stinking filter....


If you say so.

Of course, there is nothing stopping leaves, seeds etc, getting into the
heater. But you save a few pounds a year.

After all, something caused your current problem.

bit of wire works fine all speeds working again....
