Finally got everything working !!

Post by iangt4 »

last thing to do was recharge the aircon after changing the compressor, which i did to find my radiator fans weren't working :roll: aircon would cut in and circulate to gas for approx 10 seconds before the high pressure switch deactivated the clutch because the temperatures were getting upto 85 degrees :shock:
Oh joy how many relays, resistors & fuses just for the bloody fans ! :twisted:
Checked the fan - not seized, Checked the fuses - Not blown, Checked The Relays - All Working, Removed the Relays and cleaned all the terminals, did a continuity tests on all the pins, all fine, check the fan speed resistors - all good, even stripped the ecu apart to check it hadnt burnt out this part of the board..... Looked fine :|

Oh Peugeot, why do you decide to hide fuses !!! EVEN MORE FUSES UNDER THE MAIN FUSE BOX IN THE ENGINE BAY ! 40amp & 30amp fuse blown ..... :twisted: you wont beat me :lol:
