XANTIA BLOWER WORKING INTERMITTENTLY

[CitroJim]

Malcolm, excellent! Delighted this thread has helped you resolve a problem

Gabbys heating fan has been playing up a little, and refused to work at all tonight. A swift thump restored normal operation, so its likely the big brown plug is the culprit. I shall investigate in daylight.

Uggg.....my slider has decided not to go over to demist again....I fear a new cable will be needed this time (and some platers for my scratched hands)

Stewart, being a late S2, most of the common problems suffered by S1 Xantias in this respect do not apply

A quick test. Does the blower start up if you 'jiggle' the blower speed control slider around the @AUTO' position? Sometimes it's just bad contacts on the blower slider.

Another very likely one is a bad connection where the 4-way brown plug plugs into the blower unit. The high current flow can cause the contacts to heat up and loose temper. Try disconnecting the plug and re-connecting it.

Do you have access to a multi-meter to assist in measuring voltages around the blower?

My Xantia blower sometimes stops working and I feel the most likely cause is bad contact at the 4 way brown plug. What is the best way to fix it? are these plugs available?
