Jumpy Electric Solar Sensor Fault

I've got a 2022 Citroen Jumpy electric with about 94k km on the clock. I'm pulling my hair out over a solar sensor fault. The error memory keeps flagging it, and the heating output is way lower than it should be. I suspect it might be a bad connection, maybe a cable or plug issue with the sensor itself. Anyone else experienced anything similar?

Whoa, solar sensor issue sounds familiar! I drive a Jumpy too (though not electric). I also experienced a heater malfunction and it also turned out to be related to a faulty sensor. I would check the sensor's wiring harness or replace the sensor, before looking at the whole climate control system. Did you already check the error code?

Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, I did check the error code. It points directly to the solar sensor. You mentioned checking the wiring harness - any tips on what to look for specifically? I'm not super experienced, but I can handle basic stuff.

Okay, you've pinpointed the solar sensor. That narrows things down. I'm no mechanic, but from what I experienced, I would say stop trying things on your own and let a professional do the work. It can be multiple things... and, worst case, you'll damage other stuff. In the workshop they told me what the probable cause was: Cable or plug connection of the component defective. My repair cost was about 95€. It might be worth to go to the workshop.

Thanks a million for the advice! Seems like a trip to the workshop is in order. Knowing it's likely a cable/plug issue and roughly what the repair cost should be is a huge help. I'll post an update once it's sorted.
