Hi there
Sadly my first post here is a bit of an emergency. My mum is currently away on holiday, and while she's been away I've been giving her 12 year-old Peugeot 206 (X Reg) 1.1 a thorough clean inside and out.
Having given the carpets and seats a thorough wet and dry vacuum, I had the heater on to help dry out the inside of the car. However, after a little while, it seems to have failed, in that the heater system is dead and not blowing anything regardless of temperature setting or blower direction.
The car has manual air conditioning.
Turning the blower control dial from off to 1,2,3, or 4 results in absolutely nothing - completely dead. There is power going to the control panel as pressing the A/C button results in the green light turning on. However, this goes off again as soon as you turn the blower dial from off to any of the 4 on settings. Also, the button for the heated rear window is working.
Tried changing the fuse at F40, but seemed to make no difference.
If anyone has any insight as to what the problem is and whether it is a cheap/easy fix, I would really appreciate it. I can't think of a worse thing than to have to tell my mum in 10 days time when she gets home "Here's your shiny clean car, by the way your heaters completely dead and it'll cost more than the car's worth to fix it".
Thanks in advance for any help.
Chris

Hello Chris,
Well from what you said,i believe that you left the heater on for a long way,so in this case you have 2 reasons of this problem,the heater relay is burned,OR the heater motor is burned,you need to take the glove box out to check both.

OR the thermal fuse incorporated on the fan resistor has blown.
The reason the fan blower resistor is mounted in a vent-way is to get sufficient air by it to keep it from burning-up or blowing it's thermal fuse.
If this is the case you'll need a replacement resistor block.

Hi
I'm hoping it is just the resistor block that has burned out, as that will be both a simple, quick and cheap repair.
I didn't have time to work on the car this evening, but tomorrow after work I will be taking the glovebox out so I can get to the blower motor and the resistor block (and also so I can check that the actual connectors have not been damaged).
Thanks
Chris

Hello
sorry to gate crash your post but unsure how to start a new thread or post. I am too in a need of help asap! My partner has been out on my 2001 y reg peugeot 206 trying to source the problem of why I have no heating in the car. I have plus or minus control to turn the heating fan up or down and no matter what level its on it does not work at all. It has just stopped working. He has tester the heTer fan and that still works. We thought it was the resistor so we purchased one and he cannot find it anywhere on the car. Weve had the glovebox out sterling coloum. Everything. We cannot source the problem at all.
Help needed urgently.

I used this blog post when I was pulling apart the 206 to fix our problem (which turned out to be just a failed resistor rather than a burnt-out connector). Just follow the instructions and once you get the blower motor off - which may put up a real right as mine really didn't want to budge - accessing the resistor is really simple.
To update everyone on my original problem - we swapped out the resistor and all was well. A very cheap fix and thankfully one that didn't require expensive mechanic time. Note - the new updated genuine resistor looks the same, but now has a blue top instead of the off-white one.
