Fans not working?

Post by CrazyPeteUK »

Good evening, lovely people!

How are we, enjoying the heatwave I hope.

I have an issue with my lovely 406 and I'm wondering if someone can enlighten me on this subject.
I cannot have the interior fans turned on for too long as they seem to shut down and will stop blowing air into the cabin, I've noticed if I put the fans on full speed within say about 10 seconds they cut out. :cry:

Any ideas what could be causing this? :?:

My air con has ran dry and I haven't yet attempted to get it refilled/checked yet, So I'm on about the dashboard controlled fans.

Many thanks in advance :cheesy:

Hi - it seems you have a fault with the resistor pack, or the wiring to it...
Do they work on all speeds, or just flat out and off?

Good morning,

Sorry for the late reply, I forget that I'm on this group.

The fans are fine up to full speed, then they shutdown and stay off for over 30 mins. I'ver tried putting them on to low settings to reset but no luck in this weather.

Many thanls for the reply
