Beat the heat this summer with Tridon

Tridon says its extensive range of Heater Fan Resistors and Air Conditioning Pressure Switches will ensure your customers’ car is ready to hit the road this summer.
Heater fan resistors are designed to operate the air conditioner and heater fan speed inside the vehicle by controlling the current flow to the fan motor, in turn changing the speed of the fan.
Faults with heater fan resistors are common – Tridon says to look out for a lack of air flowing; working on high or low speeds only; running constantly; or not working on a particular speed. In some cases, a defective fan resistor can cause a heater fan to stop working completely.
Continuous adjustments to the fan speed generates wear and tear on the resistor’s terminals, which in turn leads to shorting, or the resister being burnt out, resulting in an eventual failure.
Air conditioning pressure switches also require replacement over time as the air conditioning may cease to function or a vehicle fault code may appear.
These are a safety device fitted to all modern air conditioning systems – placed in line with the cooling pipes, they monitor the air conditioning system pressure.
If the pressure rises to dangerous levels, or if there is a sudden drop in pressure, it will shut off the compressor to prevent damage to internal air-conditioning components and also to the compressor.
Tridon says its range of air conditioning switches has been extensively researched to provide a broad coverage of high quality OEM replacement parts.
It states these have been developed to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturers specifications, making them suitable for direct replacement of the original switches in the vehicle.
Live application data is available for all Tridon parts on Tridon Part Finder, and all applications are also available on major trade electronic catalogues.
