Dear All,
On my 95 Xantia 1.9D the heater fan does only works occasionally. To operate the fan I have to turn the ignition switch several times in an attempt to "wake" the fan up. If this fails I just leave the fan in the on position & after a few miles it sometimes comes on by itself . I have checked the fusebox for loose conections etc & found nothing.
Before I remove half the dashboard has any body had any similar problems?
Coincidentally the rear demist switch does not appear to work when the fan is not working !
Could it be a relay ?

Hi,
Its not as simple as a relay I'm afraid but is a very common problem on Xantias!! It is usually a result of the ignition switch itself breaking - the same section switches both the fan and the heated rear window.
So the most likely option is to replace the switch and get yourself an additional key for your key-ring!

If you check out the following web pages you can see that both the Ventilator fan and the Rear window heater run off the same ignition switch contact, but through different fuses (fan fuse 20, rear window fuse 27).
So I'm afraid Chris is probably right!
