C5 Hdi estate blower failure

Post by Davidcrofts »

My 2002 C5 Hdi estate blower has stopped working. I've checked fuses which are ok. This is a real problem when it's wet. Any ideas or is it another expensive visit to Citroen!

It will be the blower module (resistor)
Expensive from the dealer (£114) but can be had from eBay for around £20 - I'm on my third one.

Will post pictures when I find them.

It may not be the resistor block. The first time that my blower failed it was the electrical connection in the plug and socket that had overheated. I was able to clean up the connection and it lasted for several years. The second time it failed I had to replace the resistor unit.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.
