A couple of weeks ago the interior fan on my V6 decided to switch to full speed and couldn't be changed. After searching here on AF I changed the fan out for a spare one I had and the problem was fixed.
However, in the past few days the fan has stopped totally, as has the A/C compressor. It failed on a trip but then restarted again 30 minutes later. Next day it didn't work and hasn't worked since! I have done extensive testing and swapping of bits where I can with known working items from vehicles in my collection. All three fuses related to A/C are OK and are powered on both sides with the engine running. I swapped the fan out again and tested it in another car and it's working fine. Power from the ignition switch is being output as expected without hiccup, so I reckon the contacts in the switch are all OK. The A/C switch on the dash works OK in another vehicle, although it only controls the compressor and not the fan. Being a series 2 Xantia, the series 1 fan not working problem requiring a relay fix was apparently resolved. But I've got no power at the fan. Given that power is getting through the fuse box, it's got me stumped, and just a 'bit' frustrated.
In the fuse list in the owner's manual an A/C ECU is mentioned. Now I'm wondering if that's the problem, but I have no idea where that lives under the dash.
Any thoughts and suggestions will be very much appreciated, and thanks in advance.
Cheers, Robin
