My Heater is on high and it won't shut down!!!
 
06 MCS with 30K miles.
Driving home the other night with the A/C on, when out of nowhere the fan went to high, the heat came on. and nothing I could do would shut it down. Someone help!
None of the controls work. The little green light will not illuminate on any of the bars, turning the center knob up or down does nothing.
I finally just pulled the fan motor fuse to keep it from coming on just so I could get home. The car turned into an oven!!!
I did some looking around when I got home and noticed that maybe some of the water in the cupholder might have spilled but it was very little.

I checked some threads but couldn't find any similar problems.
The car is under warranty but my dealer is 180+ miles away besides I don't know if the dealer (Brian Harris MINI) has recovered from the Hurricane yet.

All suggestions are appreciated.

:thumbsup:

hit it with a hammer
 
You know what they say " If it doesn't work, hit it with a hammer"' Along those lines I usually resort to disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes when I encounter an electrical glich. This procedure resets the ECU and corrects the problem.
