SAXO 1.5D problems

Post by **Jon** » 07 Nov 2002, 13:47

Saxo 15d with the electric power steering.
The Pas has stopped working, and this happened at exactly the same time that the heater fan packed up too. Somone told me that there was a relay that could fail and cause this problem, so new relay dult bought from Citroen, and fitted, but no difference.
It seems that there must be a hidden fuse that we cannot locate, its certainly not mentioned in the owner's handbook fuse table.
Anyone ever heard of this, and if so, is their a solution?
BTW all other "obvious" things have been checked.

Spanners, I have to say "you're da man" <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>
My Saxo owning mate took said vehicle to the auto electrician yesterday, and guess what, it was the ignition switch.

no need to change ign switch.there is a wiring modification to the wiring at the ign switch :there should be 3 two pin plugs browm,grey & black comming off the switch,un-plug brown connector leave the side that goes into the switch untouched,then the 2 wires on the other side going into the harness should be joined together (preferably soldered) to make a loop in the wiring.do NOT join the part that goes into the switch. hey presto P.A.S.,heater blowers working again.you'll probably find the heated rear window was not working either.hope that switch was'nt too expensive !!!
