Fuel Burning Heater
Today, using a page from the Webasto Thermo top C E & Z Installation Manual I set about testing the Combustion Air Fan and the Circulation Pump to check their operation.
Why, because my FBH is not operating as it should. When pin 3 is earthed the Water pump runs for 124 seconds then stops, no other activity happens. The PCB has been repaired by FrenchMike, a new Dossing pump has been fitted and primed, and a new Landrover Temp Sensor has been fitted inside the front bumper. In the diagram above, X5 is the Circulation pump power feed and X4 is the Air fan feed. These are the same as the labeled picture below (thanks to FrenchMike) Both the Air fan and Circulation pump powered up when given a 12v feed. Why then won't the FBH fire up and run normally when powered up? All posts I can find on the forum say that when powered up the Air circulation fan kicks 1st, not so in my case. Other than taking the PCB out and returning to FrenchMike to be checked again I'm at a loss. Has anyone any thoughts on this please? Charles

If yours is the 98570 then shouldn't you be earthing pin 3 to make it run? You say in your post that you are connecting it to +ve (I assume battery +ve)?

No problem, thought it best to verify that your were indeed using the right test method. I assume you've tried pulling fuse 8 to reset? I haven't had the board out on mine so don't know how it connects to the rest of the heater, If you sure that the board is connected well then it must be the board still at fault. I'd PM FrenchMike with your problem and see what he suggests.

Yes have to pull fuse 8 out regularly to reset. Think I'll have to take it out altogether, dismantle, clean and check everything and contact FrenchMike.

Hi Charles,
I am no expert on the FBH but mine was not working so i followed French Mikes guide on a reset and mine FBH is working fine(well with pin 3 grounded not cold enough yet for a proper road test) I think you disconnect 6 pin connector then disconnect 2 pin connector(power?) reconnect 2 pin connector then connect 6 pin connector this resets whole system.Hope this helps.

The quick and simple way to get a copy is this: - using your pc mouse, right click on the image, a menu box opens up - move cursor into the box, move down to "Save Image As..." left click here - a Save Image window opens up in which you can tell your pc where to save image, rename it etc Hope this helps Charles

Webasto diagnostics
Is there anybody in the North West area who has the Webasto diagnostic software and would be willing to run it on my FBH?
I live on the Wirral, so within hour or so drive if possible. Charles
