Peugeot 106 fresh air blower not working

Hey, I'm having a strange issue with my 2000 Peugeot 106 gasoline. The fresh air blower isn't working at all. I've checked the fuses, and they seem fine. The blower motor doesn't start, and I even hooked it up to a diagnostic tool which shows an error stored in the error memory. I'm thinking it might be the blower motor itself, but I'm not entirely sure. Has anyone else experienced this, or have any ideas about what I should check next? Maybe something related to the electrical wiring, fan speed controller, or even the climate control? The car has only 33783 km on it. Any help with the cabin fan would be greatly appreciated!

Oh, that sounds familiar! I had a similar problem with my 106. It was driving me nuts! I know basically nothing about fixing cars but it sounds like a defective blower motor. I mean, I don't know how those things work, but the air conditioning relies on it, right? Have you checked the resistor pack as well? I've heard that can cause issues with the fan speed. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply! The resistor pack is a good idea. I'm not very familiar with that, where is it located, and how would I test it? Is it something that can be easily replaced, or would I need special tools? Any tips on accessing it? I think I could do it myself if I could get some instruction on what to do.

Okay, so I am definitely not an expert, but my mechanic told me it controls the fan speed by using resistors to drop the voltage to the blower motor. As far as location, it should be somewhere near the blower motor itself, usually under the dash on the passenger side. Honestly, though, based on your symptoms and the error code, it really does sound like the blower motor. In my experience, you should just go to the workshop, that sounds too technical.

Okay, thanks for the advice! I took it to the workshop and you were right; the blower motor was defective. The repair cost me 365€, but at least I have fresh air again. Thanks again for your help!
