Heater

[Steverich]

Hi all, I've looked around on here but can't find any clues

The blower has stopped working on the car, the F11 40A fuse is OK in the under bonnet fuse box, I've looked in the handbook for anything related, but couldnt find anything.

The panel itself is working OK, all the buttons do what they should, but the blower simply isn't working, no matter what position, function etc. Nothing else appears to be amiss.

The unit was working fine until I parked it up a week or so

Any fault codes? There is a resister behind the dash you need to check if the plug socket & pins are OK they can apparently over time become corroded it contains 5 pins to control the fan speed 1-4
One of my sons is a fleet tech in a large emergency services workshop & he has replaced a few of the resisters mainly on 3008s but its not uncommon in Peugeots for them to have problems so I would be looking for the socket to check it out

Hi Pedro . Thanks for the information. I presume the dash will have to be removed ? Will it , thanks again

I don't reckon the dash needs to come out they are a consumable item so must be accessible maybe these will help

Hi Steverich, the other week, in my GT, the fan would not run. I turned the fan control to full, back to Auto. Switched the ignition OFF and restarted, still no fan. Had to drive with the window open a crack for a short trip. On the way back still no fan, so thought that if I incresased the temperature it may help to keep the screen clear until I got home and had chance to check the fuse, but as I adjusted the temp, the fan started and it's been alright since. So try all the knobs and good luck.

Great if it goes again check the pins in the plug just to be sure its not shorting out

Exactley the same thing happened to me. The fan wouldn't work, then it would would work for a while then stop again. In the end I replaced the resistor and since then the fan has worked as it should. Access to the resistor by dropping the glove compartment out. As you are aware it's really necessary to have the windscreen demister fan working in the current weather conditions.
