Hi all, my fans have packed up. The a.c. don't work and neither do the fans. Any ideas?Relay? If so.. which one is it?

Is it the complete operation of the fans?With the ignition switched on to the second click, unplug the brown sensor and see what happens. You should get both fans spin half speed for about a second or two and then go full speed. If only one fires up at full speed you have a fan issue. If nothing happens, you've either got a knackered Bitron unit, and knackered brown sensor or one of the relays melted. The relays are located at the top of the fans, in their own little black triangular box.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Check the green relays in the passenger fuse compartment, these are known to cause problems Aaron. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Have a look at the relays, make sure you can remove them and that they are not melted into the socket.Do you have a Haynes manual Aaron? It has the diagrams in there and tells you what all the fuses are associateed with. I have one, but it's in the garage and I'm not in there now. If not, I will have a look for you when I next go in there. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Sorted. Was the relay. Location wise the green relays are in 2 rows. The one which controls the heater unit is on the top row nearest the drivers door. As for how to check it...   ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Whoop whoop! I knew it could only be a handful of things but the forum is great for finding other faults or location and procedures. £5 well spent. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Glad it's sorted Aaron, had a feeling it might have been a melted relay. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Never seen a buggered relay before, quite impressive!! ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!! You'll need to throw money at the car. Not on parts. Just stand near your car and throw loose change at it, I find this increases performance for a short period of time |
