C5 Heater/Blower not working!!

babymonty

Hi my Citroen heater is not working, checked fuse and tried disconnecting the battery to reset the electrics. Is there any easy solution or is this going to cost me loads to get fixed.

Could be the switch or the series resistor.

fuse
climate module
loose cable
faulty motor
fault ignition switch

the above is what i had changed on my 5 month old golf

Ive just inherited the exact same problem on my car.

It happened before and I took it to a garage who charged £40 for god knows what but it did fix the problem. However, Im not gonna spend that much money on it this time! Instead, I realised you can buy heater fans that run off your cig lighter socket that do pretty much the same thing - Im gonna go for that as as solution - they cost around £10-£15 on line

they dont do the same thing. they are rubbish on a cold morning.
they hardly give off any heat,and as for keeping the windows demisted :rotfl:
£40 is about 1 hours labour,that isnt so bad.

Yup the blowers built in are really powerful things, hold one in your hand then turn it on, a good healthy jolt from them

I can see somthing stuck on top of the dash being as good

Be very careful if you are going to do this...!!! I bought one for my car as our heater blower stopped working and it worked for a few days but then melted the cigarette lighter wire.. and took the rear demister with it..!!!!

If you are going to use a plug in one please make sure your cigarette lighter can cope with it before you do!!!

Luckily we found if we kicked our car in a strategic place (near the fan unit) the fan started!! We were quoted £400 to fix the fan because of the awkward position and the cost of the new fan. (yeek..)

We have since replaced the car!
