Similarly, I suppose if I pulled off the top connection and shorted the terminals, the fan should start up! Thanks for your help.

Both these cables end in two wires at the connection clip.

Thanks for reply. There is also a screw-in type plug unit on top of the thermostat housing - sure it's not that one? Presumably I just unscrew the unit and replace with new - seems difficult to get to though. Also I presume coolant will have to be drained first.

Ford Escort 1.8Si R reg. Everything in the heating system seems to work as normal. Fan kicks in as normal when sitting in traffic. The only problem is that the temperature guage is not registering the engine temperature. Can anyone point me to the part I need to replace. Thanks.

Replaced the heater control vave and now I'm pleased to say my wife will have heating this Winter!

Whereabouts on the car are these two items situated so I can investigate? Thanks for your reply and all the others.

Engine at operating temperature. Standing at front of car. Two pipes on engine side baking hot. Two pipes on other side of (is it the 'heater diverter valve') box to the bulkhead - left one pretty damned hot - right hand side one fairly warm.

Coolant level normal. Hot/cold dial on dash seems OK but I don't think you can get to any connections behind this knob! There is no resistence when turning. I think it must be an electronic device rather than opening/closing a flap.

Yes.

Yes, the fan works but just blows cold air out.

Heating not working in my 98 Fiesta Encore. Help appreciated.
