Heater Blower Resistor – DS 3 Crossback E-Tense
This heater blower resistor controls the speed of the interior fan. It has a six-pin connection.
The resistor sets the fan speed. When it fails, the fan often works on only some speeds or not at all, which leaves the windscreen slow to demist. Check the fan motor turns freely, as a stiff motor can damage a new resistor. A fan that only works on the highest setting is a classic sign of a failed resistor, because the top speed usually bypasses it. The resistor sits in the airflow behind the dashboard, where the moving air keeps it cool while it works. Clear any blockages such as leaves from the air intake, as poor airflow makes the resistor run hot. A clean cabin filter also helps, because it keeps the airflow steady through the heater.
