2001 Peugeot 206 heater fan constantly blowing full speed when ignition on/running
Year: 2001
Variant: 1.9 HDi
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Hi folks with the ignition on/engine running the heater fan is constantly running at full speed. the digital display on the heater control can be adjusted up and down but the fan speed doesn't change. The speed display only goes down as far as the last little segment on the fan picture.
The heater controls seem to be working as they should ie temp goes up and down,air flow direction changes as it should etc.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Possibly heater motor resistor / pack ? not sure whats on that car .

must add that behind the radio/centre console there is what can only be described as a small electrial fan just hanging. it works with ignition on/engine running and appears to have what looks like some sort of sensor in front of the fan. bear in mind this unit in diameter is not much bigger than a 10p piece.

This might help you ,
Peugeot 206 heater
Go to peugeot give them your car reg and get a replacement rheostat or control resistor as they are sometimes known for the heater.
Then go home!
Make a nice cup of tea as you will be going a while!
Then get hold of a Torx 20 Screwdriver and a torch.
You will need to take out the glovebox so you may as well empty it first.
You need to take the cover off the glovebox open it but dont let it all way down just pull it out while it's still vertical otherwise it doesnt come out.
Then you need to take out the screws behind the glovebox cover with the T20 screwdriver and also if you look closely there is another screw inside the glovebox facing upwards, ( i missed that for a while! )
Ok once you have taken all of those out you should be able to push the glovebox down and out there will be some wires attached to the left hand side, detach them taking note of how they go in.
Right glovebox out!
Now you need to take out the fan blower.
SO what you need to do is stick your torch and head in behind the glovebox and if you look as if towards the central console but from behind you will see a round looking object with one screw in.
You need to take that screw out and then turn the thing clockwise. ( This will be really really tight so you need to twist hard, it took me a good few attempts )
Once you have dislodged it there is a clip that goes into the top of the fan for the power, you must take that out and then pull the blower out.
Once you have done this you can reach inside the air duct and you will feel the rheostat. Grab hold of it, twish it to unlock it from its place and pull it towards you.
Once you have done that, then just unplug it out of the socket and then plug the new one in, then push it back to where it was and twist it back to lock it into place.
Put the fan back in and plug the wire in making sure you dont get the wire caught in the air duct.
Screw fan screw back in.
Replace glovebox!
your done!
PS one thing i would say to do is open the central console lid where the clock is and on the right of the clock you will see a red wire going down into a circular hole. Thats the rheostat so it is a good way of making sure you see how it is lodged in and that you lodge it back in correctly before closing the air duct with the fan
I hope this helps!
It will take u a couple of hours at least!

the small fan you are talking about is for the climate control.it is the cabin temp sensor.
