Saxo Electric Blower Motor Failure
Summary of the thread
A 2002 Citroen Saxo experienced a failure with its fresh air blower motor, which stopped working and stored an error related to the blower motor circuit. Initial checks of the fuses did not resolve the issue, leading to the suspicion that the blower motor itself was defective. After consulting with a garage, it was confirmed that the blower motor was indeed faulty, and replacing it resolved the problem.

The error is fairly specific to the blower motor circuit, but you raise a valid point. Where on your Peugeot 206 did you focus when you had this issue? Was it hard to get to the blower motor itself?

On the 206, the blower was a pain to reach, buried behind the glovebox. I'd suggest getting a workshop to check the wiring and confirm it's definitely the motor before you buy a new one. Sometimes it's the equivalent of a loose cable and not the motor itself.

Thanks for the insight. I took it to a local garage. Turns out, you were spot on. The blower motor was indeed defective. The total repair cost, including labor, came to 365€. Appreciate the advice about checking the wiring, but in this case, it really was the motor. Replacing it solved the problem.

Sounds familiar. I had a similar problem with my old Peugeot 206 – also cabin fan issues. Does the error code point directly to the blower motor, or could it be a resistor or wiring issue? Just curious if you looked into other components of the HVAC system before condemning the blower itself.
