Hi All

I drive a 96 Xantia and the heating has decided to play up. First thing I was going to check was the fuse?

Does anyone know if this is right to do so? If so can someone let me know the correct fuse to check , I know they're number 1 - 30 but don't have an owner's handbook to check.

Failing that does anyone else have any suggestionjs?

There is a smell now in my car - does anyone know if this is maybe caused by the air not being circulated.

Sorry if I sound dim about it all, it's cos I am.

Thanks

Do not go to a citroen dealer but ask around for an Auto Electrician. These are really helpful people and have all the equipment and expertise.

may well be the module or even blower motor itself.
Sometimes the heater control cables come adrift behind
the dash. With xantias, never adjust the heating controls
when the blower is on. If you;ve got A/C that could
well be the cause of the smell. Sorry can't remember the fuse
number

As far as I can remember Greg, the heater motor blower and rheostat are all part and parcel. Bear in mind I've been out of it now for a year but Xantias and that era were always my favourites! There are always 'oddities' like bitron boxes but I think that's your prob.
