I had the old problem of the heater blower running at all times on full blast and have brought a new blower motor resistor from ebay, which i have just fitted and now the blower wont work at all.
Do you think the new resistor pack is duff? is there a way to check it or could it be the slider, any help would be appreciated. As i'm a little stumped on what to do next?

Quie possibly - see This post by Jim. Check the markings on the transistors.taffyrhys wrote:Do you think the new resistor pack is duff?
I bought a board from autosense which has the right trannies, and works fine, eg blower board

Re: Xantia hdi heater blower
Id point at the transister pack too.. Its highly unlikely to be the slider..

Re: Xantia hdi heater blower
I'm wodering if the resistor pack is the correct one???????????????
The old one that has failed is marked FW26025 A1 -------------- The new one brought from ebay is marked MJ11016 (mexico 0133), could this be the problem?
apart from this they look exactly the same.
Are the resistors different, what do you think Jim?
Is there a way to test the resistor pack with a volt meter?
Thanks for the help and at least its not cold.
Cheers

Re: Xantia hdi heater blower switch
Can anyone tell me if and how i can connect an independant variable switch/? straight onto the heater blower so i can bypass the heater blower resistors.
My car has high mileage and a bit rough round the edges so has no value except to me ,so i wish to keep the costs down.
Would i need to use a relay straight off the battery.
Cheers

Re: Xantia hdi heater blower
HI,
Heater problems are very common. I had the same prob on my 2.0l hdi Xantia.
The fix kit for me worked perfectly. (see thread for the exact fix kit I used, http://www.frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/v ... =3&t=41428" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; )
Have looked for these transistors (fw26025a1) and not many places have them. RS components and maplins didn't have them. I looked at europarts and 24/7 parts and they didn't have any.
I found on ebay a Citroen blower fix kit.
This kit is ideal, he supplies along with the good high quality heat glue, the 2 x 30amp transistors which are better than original 20amp trannys.
You need to make sure you have replaced both tranny's (with better ones ideally) Take your old 1 apart, clean the triangle shaped piece, remove old tranny's, and any old heat glue. The new fix kit will have some details. You will need to put a decent amount of heat glue to new tranny's, (approx 1mm evenly) Fit the new parts incl screws, bolt heads.
Then if yours is like mine when you reassemble in the housing it will fix the prob. Transistors die every few years and so should be a simple fix.
If you have tried this then you may have a completely faulty part. You could replace the whole blower unit with 1 from a scrap yard for perhaps a £10. Though there is no guarantee how long those transistors will work for.
You are better doing what I did and keeping the existing blower unit and replacing with new 30 amp transistors.
Hope this helps,
Steve
