does it turn freely by hand?? if so you need to check you have feed to each of the wires with each step of the switch

good good. if you do have a feed to all the wires then its probably burnt out, which does happen. altho check the continuity of the earth as well

That was the first thing I was about to say.

You've wired the switch in wrong. It will plug right in, but you need to reshuffle the wires round - have a look in my dash swap guide in the articles, I'm pretty sure that tells you what wires go where.

Bingo

Guide (http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97606)

Heated RW/Blower
Whilst the Mk2 switch fits the Mk1 plug, it won't function properly - Vauxhall swapped some of the wires round. Chop the Mk1 plug off the loom and connect the Mk2 as follows:

MK1 BL - GE MK2
MK1 GR - GR MK2
MK1 GE - SW MK2
MK1 BR - BR MK2
MK1 BRSW - BRSW MK2
MK1 SW - BL MK2

The top two connectors are for the illumination. If you are using a mk2 plug, these can be left alone. If you are rewiring a Mk1 plug, the chop looped black wire off at the end where i connects to the main feed black wire, and connect to the blue wire.

i though BL was blue not brown

MK1 BL (brown) - GE (yellow) MK2
MK1 GR (grey) - GR (grey) MK2
MK1 GE (yellow) - SW (black) MK2
MK1 BR (brown) - BR (brown) MK2
MK1 BRSW (brown/black) - BRSW (brown/black) MK2
MK1 SW (black) - BL (blue) MK2

Ohhh on the bit further down, forgot I'd put that in. The codes are correct, that other bit was a typo on my part which I've amended now.
