Description
The Sahara Resistor Cartier is an essential electrical component for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles, designed to regulate the engine cooling fan operation effectively. Over time, resistors like this can wear out due to heat exposure and electrical load, causing cooling fan failures that affect engine temperature management. This resistor ensures optimal cooling performance, preventing engine overheating and maintaining ideal operating conditions.
Applicable Models: Compatible primarily with various PSA group vehicles, including Citroën and Peugeot models using the cooling system control resistor part number 9658508980 and reference 1308CL. It fits directly as a replacement part, often sought by mechanics and enthusiasts for its reliability and OEM matching.
Installation: Replacing the resistor involves disconnecting the negative battery terminal, locating the resistor in the engine bay near the cooling fan or radiator shroud, removing the wiring connectors and mounting screws, and installing the new resistor in the same position. Always ensure connections are secure to avoid electrical faults.
