406 fan problem - it doesn't work!

Nov 06, 2006 3 Replies

Hi guys.



Have a '97 406 2.1 diesel and the heater blower/fan has stopped working. Has been a little temperamental of late and only worked on full power. Something (sensor I guess) does click when the sliding switch is about 2/3 of the way along, but no fan. Did see a previous thread (which I can't find now!) that suggested giving the passenger footwell a kick.......my sort of maintenance! Still to no avail though.



Anyone be able to point me in the right direction?



It's probably the connector to the fan motor in the passenger footwell

- a common problem. Stick your head under there and pull out any trim - unscrew the plastic round thing with 3 screws - that's the motor - turn your ignition on and fan on and wiggle the connectors will tell you which one is loose. Disconnect it, crimp it up and re-connect and away you go.

While you're at it check the motor is free to turn. Mine took out the control unit + cost £700 to fix
