It should put the blowers onto maximum.

Pass.  I have never suffered an FSR fault so I can't help with what it actually does.  If the system is working normally elsewhere then possibly not.  It could just as easily be a button fault but it's part of a single control panel AFAIK and not individually replaceable.  :(

Ok, I'm not really that fussed to be honest as all the blowers/Air con work which is the main thing. If I see a cheap second hand control panel I may swap it over to see if that cures it
