Talk about the 406's electrical system, what wires do what, how to add extra functionality, etc.

Heater Box Motor on Constantly

Post by dmrstott »

Hi,

Back again with another electrical gremlin where I could do with any advice on.

Heater box motor is on full when the ignition is on. Auto and fan controls do nothing.

Car is a 2004 406 HdI S model.

Appreciate any thoughts / suggestions

Regards
Dave
Cheers

99% sure it'll be this: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5554&p=61532

Can get a replacement unit on ebay for about £15, takes 10 mins to switch :)

eBay one has been fine on the Coupe for a couple of months now.

It's not too bad a job, bit fiddly to get a screwdriver in there, a flexi bit helps a lot. So does some amount of enjoyment for having one's head in the passenger footwell and one's feet on the headrest :supafrisk:
