Function And Common Failure Modes
The heater fan (blower motor) circulates air through the heater core and ventilation ducts to provide cabin heating and venting. Common symptoms that indicate a failing blower motor include reduced airflow, unusual grinding or rattling noises, intermittent operation or complete stop, and a burning smell.
- Typical causes of failure: worn motor brushes, bearing wear, debris lodged in the fan, corrosion of electrical contacts, or wiring/connecter faults.
- When to replace: noisy operation, weak airflow at all fan speeds, or when the fan fails to run despite correct electrical input.
Replacement Guide
- Safety first: disconnect the negative battery terminal to avoid short circuits.
- Access the blower motor—on Peugeot 107/C1 models this usually requires removing the glovebox or lower dash panel on the passenger side.
- Disconnect the electrical connector and any linked wiring harnesses.
- Remove the mounting screws or clips securing the fan assembly and extract the unit carefully.
- Install the replacement fan, secure mounting fasteners, reconnect the wiring and reinstall the dash components.
- Reconnect the battery and test all blower speeds and heater function. If operation is intermittent, recheck electrical connections and fuses.
