The safest option is to resolder the thermistor from the other panel you bought - or get a new thermistor for a few bucks like described several times in this thread. That is what I will do. |

If you still have the 'spare' Thermistor I would be very grateful if you could let me know how much I need to send to you for you to mail it to me ASAP. Many thanks in anticipation, Bluesea |

Bluesea, not sure if you got sorted but this is the kinda thing you need...
10k Thermistor on eBay And a quick buying guide, some key words, these things are available everywhere if you need one. NTC - Negative Temperature Coefficient. Thermistors are Thermo (temperature) Resistors. The ones you need lower their resistance the warmer they get. 10k or 10k Ohm - this is the value of the resistance at (generally) 25 degrees centigrade. Obviously the cooler the thermistor the greater the resistance, which makes them REALLY difficult to test to see if they are working or not. 3% 5% - this value reprresents it's manufactured accuracy at the stated temperature. Don't worry about it, it won't really make a great deal of difference for our use. For example, a 10% accuracy will produce a +/- 1k Ohm difference in measurement, which'll translate to about a 1 degree celcius difference in heat. Will you really notice the difference? Final point, just make sure you're buying one with legs on, and not a little block style. The legs you will need Last edited by Funky Diver; Jun 28th, 2015 at 09:21. |

Pull the console out and up with a bit of wriggling. I did my S60 today, a bit of advice to avoid airbag service alarms..... disconnect your battery!! Soldering the new tiny resister back in is tricky if you are near 50 or older as you need close eyesight and a very steady hand(s), I had to get my younger wife to slip the tiny wire into the tiny solder filed hole
