Heater Fan Always On.

[wilyoldave 0]

On the way home adjusted the fan speed and then suddenly the fan went on full power and now I cant stop/ adjust it. Did a search and a resistor or something seems favourite. Is peugeot my next port of call and how much are they.

 

The other option seems to be the panel itself.

 

Looks like the haynes manual i bought 2 days ago is going to get used straight away

if it is the resistor I seem to remember Miles saying 9/10 if u clean them up they work. atleast its working though!

Clean a resistor? (off to get haynes manual to see what that shows...)

 

Thanks for the reply.

get your head right under the dash on the passenger side you will see the fan motor secure by 3 screws and past it you will see a resistor held in by a couple of screws unplug it remove it and clean it up they can have surface corrosion. 2 min job.

So fan out(can give that a clean while im at it and some oil to stop it squeking) then get the resistor out clean and refit and fingers crossed!

 

Thats Satureday morning sorted then!

It's a 2 min job.

Right got the fan and resistor out - the fan looks ok and now its oiled it doesnt squeak! however its still going flat out.

 

Looking at the rersistor what do i clean? the 4 contacts look ok no obvious corrosion. Do i just need a new one can you buy them?

 

I have also taken the front panel of the heater controls and looked at the white disc to see if that looked like it was making a connection on the panel behind, looked ok so what next?

 

Cheers Dave

Sorry to thread hijack, but ive got a problem with the other knob (oo er) the one that controls the direction of the fan. when turning it round it doesnt change the fan direction, is this more of a mechanical based problem as I assume it uses some sort of lever to change the airflow? anyway I could do with it getting fixed now its getting colder in the morning!
