| Question: |
| The air con
was working ok when I bought the car recently. The
man who sold it to me said it was working ok just
needed re-gassing. Unfortunately its still not
working and a friend told me it could be the relay
but I don't no where the relay is and this is the
first car I've owned with air con. Please help? |

Your first problem with the air con is like you have
been advised likely to be electrical. Check your
fuses (F21 30Amp Green I believe) which is for the
compressor cut-off relay, air conditioning
compressor, pressostat, fan relay and
heating/ventilation controls. If this is ok then its
possible the compressor clutch is not kicking in due
to another electrical fault like the relay or even a
snapped drive compressor drive belt. Im afraid I
have never worked on an aircon unit on a Peugeot and
have tried to find where the relay is located with
no success. A colleague di think it was behind the
drivers side headlamp but couldn't be sure.
Your best bet would be to go to a Peugeot parts
dealer and ask for a new relay as they wont be
expensive and when they locate the part on their
system it will show an exploded diagram of the car
and the relay's location. Its likely to be in the
drivers side fuse area or above the passenger side
front wheel arch under the bonnet. |
