Compatibility And Fitment
Fits Peugeot 406 models. Check the product codes listed above against the unit on the vehicle to confirm compatibility. This control is used to operate blower speeds, temperature selection, blend/door actuators, recirculation and A/C compressor clutch signals.
Function And Benefits
The control panel interfaces with the vehicle HVAC system to: adjust cabin temperature, select air distribution (windscreen, face, feet), control blower motor speed, activate recirculation and engage the A/C compressor. Replacing a faulty control restores intuitive operation and avoids driving with impaired defrosting or cabin comfort. For workshops, the obvious benefit is reduced diagnostic time when the panel itself is the fault.
