Hi all, the wires for the fans by the steering column on my c4 grand picasso (2008 reg, 2.0HDi, DW10QBTED4 RHJ engine code) keep burning out, i have changed the relay in the engine bay, put new fans in, but It still keeps burning out. Does anyone have a wiring diagram or any idea what's causing it to keep burning out?
Thanks in advance

Re: C4 fans by steering column keep burning
Most likely the fan motor is drawing too much current. This may be due to stiff bearings, or it may be an internal short in the motor.

Is the pollen filter blocked up, when was it last changed. Might also be a short in the wiring but I would expect a fuse to blow, unless one has been replaced with a high amp one.

Re: C4 fans by steering column keep burning
^^ Both these suggestions - check when the pollen filter was last changed - you'd be surprised how much crud and bugs can get in there and this restrict the air flow, so can put a strain on the blower motor.
