C4 Blower fault

Unread post by Calzo »

Hi guys, I've been suffering blower issues on my 2012 C4 1.6hdi VTR+ The problem being the blower fan is constantly on full power even with the ignition turned off, I have to disconnect the battery every time I leave the car. Initial thought is a relay that has stuck and just continually supplying power. Where is the relay?
Any ideas or pointers?
Cheers

I've heard of a few cases of this situation where the internal cabin fans keep running with ignition off and changing the blower control motor does not fix the issue. So I suspect you may have an issue with the supplies management or one of the fuse boxes, but it will need a proper diagnostic to check for specific faults to point to the culprit. Many relays are internal to the boards, so the cause has to be pinned down first.

Thanks for the quick reply Marc. I was hoping a relay was the culprit. Need to buy a diagnostic tool then!

Can anyone supply a wiring diagram for the blower motor?

You have an outstanding After-sales Campaign since 2016 on this vehicle affecting the bonnet locking security (Striker Wire). Get it booked in for the work at Citroen, free of charge.

Most hardware codes are on the Wiki:

For wiring use pin and sleeve codes not colours.
