Does anyone know how it all works, how it
is connected? any pictures be great
thanks

ohh that part.. i was trying to think of the switches up top..
the heater part.. I got u now mate.
To my understanding its all on a switch panel, all 3 of them. Sometimes the switch panel rusts up, and you can't get the panels sliding again.. wheather this is your problem or that they don't work at all when you slide it, its most likely a wiring problem.. ie loose connection or no connection. Unless there is another switch somewhere that operates the fan, then this is your only option but to get your head under there and follow wires.
A wiring diagram will be in most mini manuals, if you need it.
