Citroen Xsara blower motor
Variant: 1.4 SX
Model Year: 2001
AS per what I saw earler on the Site; The Blower Motor will work at Max if I have it in that position when I start the CAr. Can someone explain to me how I can change the "Resistor" on the Blower Motor. Am I correct in saying that the Blower Motor is located above the Passengers Feet and under the Gloce Box on this Car. Many yhanks for looking at my problem and for any advice forthcoming. Kevin

This should help you ,
Citroen Xsara (1997 - 2004) - 04 Heater blower (Manual controlled)
Fri 11 Jan 2008 07:46 Heater+blower - elekie&a/c doctor
I would think that the electronic fan speed regulator is faulty.It is part of the blower motor unit but can be replaced as a seperate part.It is located behihd dash and access from pass side footwell.Part cost about £80 from Citroen/Peugeot.hth
or this
found this on another site hope it helps --------------
Fixed it at last!!!!
It was the blower fan controller. This is a unit about the size of a
cigarette packet and is found in the driver's footwell on the left, fairly
high up. Thanks to Paul at the Citroen Centre for telling me this.
Taking the unit out is awkward but not impossible. There are two sockets,
coloured green. One has a pair of thick wires (presumably power out to the
heater fan motor), the other has two thick and four thin wires, I guess that
this is power in and the vanbus multiplex control in and out. You need a 6mm
socket but I would recomment using a magnetic one in case you drop the
fixing self tappers behind the carpet.
Most of the bulk of the unit is a large aluminium heatsink There is a power
transistor inside the unit but I marmalised it trying to unsolder it. The
heatsink clearly seems to work when a soldering iron is used.
Having marmalised it, I had to buy a new unit. Much ferreting and phoning
around and I found that it is Valeo part number 509355 or Citroen part
number 6441L2.
I would recommend Neil Goodall at Vantage Citroen parts 0208 544 9997. He
keeps most Citroen bits. Cost is less than 40 squids plus the dreaded VAT.
Hope this helps all the other people who have reported thae same fault. It
is probably no more than a ten minute job to change the unit for a new one.

I have fixed the problem (as per instructions received from another Xsara owner) by changing the two "Transistors" which are located in the Fan Motor Unit. The Fan now works as it should i.e. turns on instantly and functions at all speeds. I can supply the Instructions for the fix if anybody requires them. Thanks for your input. I had been quoted €300 by a Citroen Dealer but I now have it fixed for €52 including the purchase of a Soldering Iron as it is needed to carry out the fix.
