Description
Product Overview
This heating fan assembly with integrated regulator is a direct-fit HVAC blower solution for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles in the PSA family. Supplied with a length of the supply wiring harness, the unit replaces worn or failed blower motors and speed regulators to restore proper cabin heating and ventilation. Key OE references include 9654652480, 5E2228000, 6441W8 and 6441W9, making this part easy to find and verify.
Key Benefits
- Direct replacement for compatible PSA models, reducing installation time.
- Includes regulator circuitry for reliable blower speed control.
- Comes with a piece of supply wiring to simplify connector and power restoration.
- Suitable for professional mechanics and experienced DIY technicians.
- OE part numbers quoted for quick cross-referencing during ordering.
How It Works And Common Failure Modes
The blower motor moves air through the heater core and ventilation system, while the regulator (electronic speed control) adjusts fan speed. Failures typically occur due to worn motor brushes, bearing wear or seizure, debris entering the fan wheel, corrosion at electrical connections, or a failed regulator module. Symptoms include no air flow, reduced airflow at all speeds, or loss of some fan speed settings.
Replacement And Installation Notes
Installation is straightforward for a trained mechanic or competent DIYer. General steps:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal to avoid short circuits.
- Access the blower assembly—commonly located behind the glovebox or under the passenger footwell; remove trim panels as required.
- Unplug the electrical connector and remove retaining screws or bolts holding the blower in place.
- Swap the old unit for the new assembly, reconnect wiring (use the supplied section if needed), secure mounting fasteners and reassemble trim.
- Reconnect the battery and verify all fan speeds and HVAC functions before road use.
Always compare the connector shape and mounting points to the old unit and confirm OE numbers to ensure correct fitment.
