Guest Neosophist Posted May 22, 2003 Hi, Just brought a pug 205 after my old car was stolen and burnt out, I get this home and the heater dosn't work , I can turn the dial from left to right it dosn't do anything although I can hear a relay click when it gets to the end turning it clockwise. I've checked the fuses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest myba Posted May 22, 2003 mine stopped working all of a sudden a while back. It turned out to be the heater motor broken. Only, you dont mention the electrical sparking noises and smoke when you turn the dial so it may not be that. Sorry to be not much help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simes 248 2 Cars Posted May 22, 2003 Heater motor is under/behind the glovebox, really easy to remove (just drops out) worth checking the connections to it and maybe then removing and testing. The bearings do tend to go on these after a while so it may have seized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest richard Posted May 22, 2003 Id also say to check the water level.........mine appeared to stop blowing out hot air....turned out it had lost almost 1 1/2 litres! filled it up again and now its working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest d-9 Posted May 22, 2003 I had this prob on my mums 205 gt, heater motor was fine, there was a resistor somewhere down by the battery that had blown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest adam_ellis Posted May 22, 2003 d-9 - tell me more mate?! I have never been able to get mine working! I've tried changing the motor and resister next to it, but still no joy. An engine bay fuse sounds like a good thing to check next. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 1 FAT PUG Posted May 22, 2003 mine was not working when i got mine, it was the heater control that had stopped working, fitted about 3 from the scrappys till i got a good one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest d-9 Posted May 22, 2003 I cant really remember a lot of it, tbh. The heater wasnt working when mum bought the car, asked me to have a look, i was like "electrics, i can do them..." famous last words. spent about a week taking the dash appart, i gave up. I tested the motor (by sticking a 12v supply on it), the contol (by puting an ohmeter across it and by sliding the slider) and checked none of the wiring was obviously burnt out, and checked the fuse. Eventually took it to my local sparky who charged mum a wad of cash and eventually replaced a resistor down behind the battery somwhere (sorry thats the description i got), and it worked.

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted May 22, 2003 Under the fan nearer the bulkhead you will see some wires going into a plug, basicly unplug this undo the 2 screws and you will see the Heater resistor module, It's not surprizing they fail as they get covered in rubbish, If oyu need one let me know, But check if its 4 or 5 pin.

Guest Neosophist Posted May 23, 2003 cool, thanks a lot for the input guys, i'll be having a look tommorow as it's my day off! Hope it's one of them as there realtivly easy. Regs, Martin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest adam_ellis Posted May 23, 2003 Sweet, sounds like I might finally get it working soon. Dunno where you guys were when I asked this question a few months back - Knowone suggested this then. Oh well, at least I have plenty of spares now - Neosophist if you need a blower motor or its resister let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest labrat Posted May 25, 2003 Excellent info guys, thanks ... been battling with this for a while now. All I know is that the motor is aparently fine as occasionally when going over a bump the fan comes on full blast !! Seems like I too may finally get this sorted !! Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Neosophist Posted May 25, 2003 Sorted it, the motor was seized to hell! Now it works but it's either on full, when the switch is at the very end and the relay clicks or it's off. Should it be ajustable? I presume so, so whats wrong? Many thanks, Martin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wes Posted September 4, 2003 Did anyone get theirs working after changing this resistor??? Do pug sell the resistor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Telf 205 Posted September 4, 2003 the resistor costs far too much from dealer. its like £30. I went to scrappy and i got it for £4. Its the same in a few cars. If its either on or off its def the resistor not working. Quite easy to replace aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GtiMad 1 Posted September 4, 2003 Dam it, where was this thread a few days ago!? My heater has just cut out recently but I it was the only part I couldn't get off an old car before I scrapped it. Bugger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does it look the same as the silver cylindrical resistor for the cooling fan???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest badmission Posted September 4, 2003 what...205s with heaters? heh, you will be telling us next they have ventilation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GtiMad 1 Posted September 17, 2003 Ok, so who acually managed to get there heater working then? I havn't tried yet because I am a lazy git but I am going to have to get on with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wes Posted September 18, 2003 anyone????? more info on this resistor anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Neosophist Posted September 20, 2003 mines sorted now! Ok, if you take off the control knobs and the front plastic bit you'll see a white box with the remaining turney things on, thats the resistor, the middle turney thing for the heater has carbon on the back of it which acts as a resistor, if yours is full on or full off you'll need to replace the white box as it's a pain in the ass to take apart and repair, couple of quid from the scrappy, pain to get out, theres a little multiplug at the bottom of it you can unplug when you remove it.

Guest johno_78 Posted September 20, 2003 had a similar problem on our old 205. either it was on full blast or it was off when a wire was disconnected. turned out to be the heater blower motor control unit just under the heater assembly in the passenger footwell. tried a few from the scrappies and £2 later all was fine again.
