Hi guys. Just replaced a heater matrix and now the blowers don't work. Seems to be no power to the motor as tested with a circuit tester? Fuses all seem ok. Any ideas?

Understand cutting the pipes, but can you explain 'cutting between the pipes and put silicone grease on it'

Yer, sounds like it. The 'female' end of the whole assembly. Does this need to be removed to get the old matrix out?

Have checked the old engine and it's all wired differently through the radiator switch, presumably as its a newer engine?
