Thanks for the video. I've replaced the resistor and everything is working now but at a much higher speed than before. Even on the lowest setting it blasts out. If I put it on full I'll get blown out the window! Any ideas?

Does anyone know if this is the same issue as if the blowers don’t work at all? I know people say their’s are stuck on full power but mine aren’t coming on at all. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Worked for me, "a little tricky" was an understatement, but success! Thanks.

U r awesome mate thx alot for help

Thanks a lot for doing this. I have located and twisted out the resistor but can't work out how to detach the electrical part. It's not shown in the video. Any help appreciated

Many thanks! A great help but couldn’t your daughter have held the phone/camera in gratitude? 🤔😂

What screw is that ?

Great help..new one for 13 quid off eBay...pull the connector off first by pinching in the little plastic things at either edge..then you can twist it out easier.. cheers.

Thanks for the post, I've got this problem on my daughters ds3 so will replace it on Monday. Very helpful.

My fans dint work then I changed the ressister and now they work but are on full all the time. Any advise?

Thank you so much! 🇳🇱

Good for posting this video, integration is key

Great video helped me change the part no problem

Many thanks. New hedgehog now installed. I'd have struggled to locate it without your video. As others have mentioned, I found that completely removing the trim below the glovebox as a first step not only helped with access for the resistor but also made it easier to remove and replace the side panel.

I followed a post on the C3 forum and discovered after taking the drivers side plastic panel out , on the climate controlled cars, the resistor is on the other side. So I now need to put the o/s back together and follow your video. Many thanks for taking the time to post this😊

Tried again last Friday with a pair of pliers and hey ho , now replaced, many thanks guys for your comments and videos.

Cheers for that , I've just bought a ds3 and the fan was on full speed , so after watching your video, I was off to euro car parts €£41 and half an hour later all working fine , so thank you so much 😀

Just tried to replace ours on citreon ds3 14 plate and cannot remove old one, in an awkward place and can't get any leavage, I can only try to remove with left hand, any help please....

3 years old this video, I would never have found, or know what to do. Worked like a charm. Cheers! ☺️

Thanks so much Good the video

Just like to say had same problem and could not find a video to help but your video was brilliant and did the job myself so thanks a million

My blowers weren’t working so Changed this out and now the blowers are stuck on max?? Pretty sure I’ve done everything right?

I have 2013 ds3 here. Blowers not working atall though. All fuses are good but i cannot find the resistor anywere. Theres absolutely no gap for a finger to get through let alone my hand so im stuck.

Thank you for the tip brother 🙏

Replaced mine but still having same problem. Worked for about 5 mins then started blowing out again. Any recommendations please ?

Thanks for the video! Definitely saved me an expensive trip to the garage . My tip is don't do this just after driving as the pipes the unit is behind are very hot so let them cool down. I also struggled to get enough purchase on the unittotwist it but with the use of a pair of pliers it came out easy enough. I also found removing the cover below the glove box before removal made access easier

Thank you for this video. I was quoted £120 + VAT just to diagnose my DS3 - my heating fan was stuck constantly on. I reckon it would have been approx £250 at the cheapest. I fixed it for the grand total of £17.53 because of your video!

Thank you for making this little video, I had the same issue and replacing this part fixed my problem. Cheers.

Do not try this when the car is hot

귀하의 영상에 감사드립니다. 같은 차종이며 팬이 꺼지지 않는 증상으로 시트로앵 서비스센터를 방문하였습니다. 엔지니어에게 26~150만원이라는 비용이 든다는 말을 들었습니다. 부품이 없어 언제 수리를 할 지도 모르는 상황에서 중국산 히터저항을 20000원에 구입(배송료포함)했습니다. 오늘 히터저항을 교체하였고, 이제는 정상적으로 가동합니다. 히터저항을 돌려 빼내는 것고 어려웠고, 연결선이 잘 뽑히지않아 한 시간 정도 고생했습니다. 영상에서 재빨리하는 당신의 모습이 존경스럽네요. 그럼, 건강하시고, 좋은 일들로 가득하시길 바랍니다. (번역기가 얼마나 잘 번역될지 모르겠지만 많은 도움이 되었습니다.) 다시 한번 감사드립니다.

Cheers mate appreciate it!

Thank you 👍

Thank you worked a treat bit fiddly but doable

Thanks so much for this, after watching this I bought a unit for my daughters car and followed video to install and it worked

is the same for citroen c3 II (second series)?

Thank you for doing this video. I have the same problem with my C4GP mk2. I think the resistor is in the same location. Will find out tomorrow, when I open it up!

Well I decided to have a go at locating the blower motor and I managed to locate it next to the resistor that’s all I needed to do was remove the glove box and surrounding shroud and twist the motor blower housing and out as simple as that gave it all a good clean fully working :)

Changed the resistor for a new one no air still blowing at all is this likely to be the heater blower motor ? If so how tricky is it to remove does the dashboard need taking apart any help would be extremely grateful

I have an issue with my DS3 2010 petrol, wondering if it could be the same thing? Mine's not blowing full all the time, but its a lot weaker than it should be. For example, when it's set to two fans, it feels like one and so on... Could it be the same component causing the problem?

Awesome video thanks for the video I replaced it myself part of ebay £14 checked and all working correctly now auto electrical quoted £120 ti do the job anyone struggling let me know I can try assist as a woman chuffed I did it myself

Cant work out how to remove the electrical part from the old resistor any help be appreciated please 🙏

Crucial part where u locate resistor isn't shown.i can't find mine ??

You Sir are a star ! Same problem with DS3… ordered from ebay for £13.97 …. Fiddly to fit but your video was a massive help … problem solved … thank you mate 👍🏻

my car ( DS3 2015 ) making badly noise as well so going to try it and hope works :):):):)

Hi Mr Diy. Great video, whats is the 'knack' to get the resistor to twist out?! I have spent an hour now pushing, pulling and turning and no movement. many thanks pete

Was the fan blowing full blast constantly. Even if you tried turning it down or off before hand?

May I say a thank you to Mr DIY. I followed your instructions to replace the resistor, all fixed now having the same problem. I saved myself over £200 + sending it to a Citroen dealer to fix the resistor

Many thanks top man !!!!

Thanks for the video Daryl- I've got the resistor out using your guidance- can somebody advise how you take off the electrical power connectors - struggling to see how you do that and working semi blind in that tight space is proving difficult - any advice or guidance appreciated- thanks for a great how to on something that is missing across the Internet

Thanks. Wouldn't have even attempted this without your video. Works great now.
