Yeah, unclip the big brown block to the wires are seperated.
Leave the two red ones on their own, then join the two brown either by cutting the block off and joining them that way or the way thats in the first post:

i tried joining the brown wires and it didnt work for me either and seen your comment, so i took the gamble of buying a 2nd hand one of ebay for £16 and after a fiddly job of fitting it, it worked. I now have power steering ,rear demister and fan blowers.
Cheers matey
btw i have a mark 2 vts phase one, maybe its cos it is a vts is why it didnt work wen joining the wires or something, maybe the guys and girls it did work for could add to this if they dont have a vts

Bought a Saxo for the Mrs earlier this year and had to take it back to the garage from whence it came as the heater blower was not working, then it would and then it gave up the ghost.They sorted the problem out and its worked fine up until last weekend. My son knackered the steering lock up and got the key jammed in it. Got the car home stripped down the steering lock, got the key out and got everything working again ( I thought) . Mrs goes out in car and complains that heater isnt working So following everyones advise I removed the wire block and did the conversion and Nothing ,Fookall , denada. Its nearly driving me to sodding .Oh and the rear window heater isnt working either. Ive checked the fuses under the dash as well. Anyone any further suggestions besides a gallon of petrol and a match ??????????????????????? PLEASE

hi mate, i had same probs as you but my power steering had also failed along with heater blowers and rear window demister, seen a comment here on saxexperience that changing alternator should fix prob and changing it with a £16 second hand one did fix it for me, is your battery light on at dash as mine was untill i replaced alternator and resolved all faults

Probably your heater blower motor has gone fella. I had the same problem with my '51 vtr, replaced motor and now all fine.

Does this mean the rear demister and stuff stay on with the ignition off though?
That'd mean flat battery and stuff?
Pretty ideal mod, but surely there needs a fuse or something to stop things blowing?
Correct me if i'm wrong just curious tbh
