i have to say bud i was shitting it , but all good (touched wood) for now , will be interested to see what its like on a long term basis , i found shitreon to cancel my car going in and explained to them what i had done , they said its what they would have tried first , if that didnt work then they would of had to replace all the locks etc , to do the wireing alone they wanted 50quid my machanic done if for me for a tenner so i was quite releaved to say the least

once again good guide

Car(s): Citroen Saxo West Coast VTR 1999

Default This is wot I found.....

Bought a 99 Westcoast VTR about 3-4 months ago. Everything was fine until a few days ago, i got in my car for work and found i had no PAS and blowers. Checked this forum for any other experiences, found this great page and found a solution. Went out side to look this thing over, to find mine had already been done before now.... But... this is wot i did find......someone had put in a in-line fuse between the connection of the 2 brown wires and it melt the fuse and it's holder, causing it to fall apart ( losing my PAS and blowers). It appear it was a 30amp fuse and was too strong to break the circuit.... Was thinking of installing a new in-line fuse holder and trying a smaller fuse like a 20a or 25a. So at least it wont overheat and cause melting.

Does anyone else support the idea to put an in-line fuse between the connection of the brown wires?? I find this a more safe and efficent way of making this 'By Pass' work.

Got a pic of damage caused, not sure how to upload it. Can anyone Help
