Product Overview
This climate control unit is designed for first generation Peugeot 3008 and 5008 models and provides user interface and electronics for regulating cabin temperature, fan speed, air distribution and air conditioning functions. It is commonly searched by part numbers 96738322XT and 6451Y3, so including these codes in your search will speed up identification. Ideal for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics who maintain Stellantis Peugeot/Citroën vehicles.
Benefits
- Direct fit for Peugeot 3008 I and Peugeot 5008 I — restores full manual/automatic HVAC control functionality.
- Improves cabin comfort by re-establishing responsive temperature and airflow control.
- Saves diagnostic time when replacing a faulty control panel versus troubleshooting multiple HVAC actuators.
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis (Peugeot/Citroën)
- Model: Peugeot 3008 I, Peugeot 5008 I
- Product Codes: 96738322XT, 6451Y3
- Other Numbers: None Specified
How It Works
The unit contains the front-panel controls, temperature sensors interface and control logic to command blower speeds and blend/recirculation actuators. It interprets user inputs and sends control signals to HVAC servomotors and the air conditioning system, often via the vehicle CAN network and local wiring connectors.
Replacement Procedure (Quick Guide)
- Prepare Tools: Trim levers, Torx and Phillips screwdrivers, socket set and protective gloves.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent short circuits and accidental airbag deployment.
- Remove Trim: Carefully pry surrounding trim panels in the center console to access the HVAC unit bezels.
- Unscrew Unit: Remove mounting screws securing the control module and slide the unit gently forward.
- Disconnect Connectors: Unplug electrical connectors and any ribbon cables—note locking tabs to avoid damage.
- Install New Unit: Reconnect all harnesses, secure the unit with screws and refit trim panels. Reconnect the battery and verify functionality of all HVAC modes.
Installation Recommendations
- Perform installation on a stable, protected surface and avoid forcing plastic clips to prevent trim damage.
- Check connectors for corrosion or bent pins before mating; clean contacts if necessary.
- After installation, run through all functions (temperature ranges, fan speeds, A/C on/off, recirculation, defrost) to confirm correct operation and detect intermittent faults.
- If the vehicle displays related fault codes after replacement, consult a diagnostic tool compatible with PSA/Peugeot systems.
Common Failure Reasons
Climate control panels typically fail due to normal wear of switches and rotary encoders, contact oxidation, cracked solder joints on the PCB, moisture ingress, or thermal stress from prolonged sun exposure. Symptoms include unresponsive buttons, intermittent operation, blank or dim displays, or incorrect blower/actuator behavior. Replacing the control unit often resolves these user-interface related faults.
Notes For Professionals And Enthusiasts
When searching or ordering, using the part numbers 96738322XT and 6451Y3 will help ensure you receive the correct unit. This product is intended for technicians familiar with Peugeot interior disassembly and basic vehicle electrical systems. Keep replacement screws and trim clips organized to ensure a factory-quality reassembly.
