PAS, heater fan , rear demister Repair. - Page 15 - Saxperience

chris47 · 24th October 2010, 13:06

Hi, I have a citroen saxo 1.5 diesel and today the power steering just packed up.
I have tried the modification and this has not worked.

The heater blower and rear demist work fine.

I have checked fuses and all seem fine. Where exactly is the relay?
Car has been fine until now.

Before I did the modification I unplugged the wires and just inserted a link wire just to try it and I swear it seemed that the steering was lighter, so I made a good strong wire link with correct terminals and now this does not work.

Any ideas where the relay is? and can anybody suggest anything else please.

Hi,

really sorry to ask as i know it will have been asked a million times already. just i dont want to go trawling through 15 pages looking for the answer,

My battery died earlier, changed it and had the problem of all 3 not working. i did the fix (which i know works in most cases as i had to do it on my older saxo and it worked then) but after trying the fix i still have no joy, the battery light is on all the time, do you think its the alternator that needs replacing?

you are a life saver

The first thing you need when messing with any electrics is a multi meter. Start the car, test voltage, If its 11-12v then the alternator can't be working, if it is 13-14v then the alternator is working and your problem is else where.

I have just started experiencing the problem with the PAS and heaters but havent noticed the rear demisters but its only intermitant. do u think this is the same problem?

hi what great post, my saxo heater sytem wont work on any of the settings, i bought it like it it also comes with race airfilter and thought that that might be why mines not working, but im going to try your way first as in your picture and was wondering what size spade connectors did you use ;-)

hey guys kinda have a similar prob but i have a 2001 forte 1.1 i dont have power steering tho but my blowers and rear screen stopped working the other day bloody typical in this weather but the matrix seems to be ok when driving i can feel heat from the vents and the screen starts to demist but no blowers or heating when not moving very annoying does anyone think this method will solve my prob also my fuse blows when i switch my rear fogs on but i suspect this might just be a bulb. thanks guys.

peace out

Napuis · 8th December 2010, 09:52

yup this is the problem for me.

bit confused where to start, there are a few diagnoses on here!!

Napuis · 8th December 2010, 09:54

P.S. the lack of power steering is a little dangerous on this ice too haha, and the lack of heaters = FUCKING COLD

for some reason got in the car to go home from work last night and all three were in fine working order, fuckin strange if you ask me!

I signed up, just so that i could reply to this thread

I have absolutely no experience with cars, i don't even have a license, I've never owned a car, nor have i ever tried to repair one before. Yet this thread managed to guide me well enough to fix my mom's car (helping her save the 300$ fix at the insanely expensive mechanics here in Denmark)

This was enough to save a hell of a hassle with the coldfront over scandinavia this winter. (and it saved enough money for us to have a decent christmas after all!)

Can't thank you enough!!

Hey all, I got to page 6 of 15 and didnt see my problem.

Got an Eastcoast 1.1i.
Just my demisters don't work, is it just a standard fuse? or a relay? and how do you check if a realy switch is knackerd? Blackening of the contacts??
Is a clicking of a relay normal? e.g. when my wipers are on i hear a click before and after they do their cycle.just wondered if its a sign that its on its way out. (Possibly a really silly question to ask as i understand its a switch, kind of)

Loads of questions but any help would be ace,
