Best answers

Where is the blower speed resistor/regulator located in a Peugeot Partner with air conditioning, and what should be repaired or replaced if the fan only works on full speed?

It is in the fan housing, not in the fuse box: in an air-conditioned Peugeot Partner you usually have an electronic blower regulator/step controller, not a plain resistor [#16768233] [#16768991] The module is the heatsink assembly with two transistors, and it can be dismantled for repair [#16768233] The recommended fix is to replace or repair the regulator [#16774777] Also check the solder joints, because a burnt connection there is a common fault [#16774792]

    I warmly welcome.
    The topic was on the forum but I didn't find the answer to my question.

    A classic problem, i.e. airflow in the 4th gear. I wanted to unplug this entire resistor and replace the fuse but I can't locate this resistor. I located the windmill power plug (after pulling it out, even the 4th gear did not go).
    Below photos from what I took down, i.e. the board from the passenger and the cube mentioned above.
    I also unscrewed the fan housing.
    If someone can direct me somehow where to look for a resistor, I will be grateful (I am at odds with vehicle mechanics).
    Thank you in advance for your answer.

    Well, you have a resistor in the fan housing, this heat sink with two transistors.
    If possible, the regulator can be dismantled for repair.

    Thanks for the answer.
    In most films with a solution to this problem (also in the case of Peugeots) a resistor is removed from the fuse and a new one is soldered. Where to look for it?

    Do you have air conditioning there? You don't have an ordinary resistor, just a step adjustment on the electronic regulator.

    Hello, I can help myself with:

    The case concerns vents in a Peugeot Partner.
    They work as if at full power non-stop, trying to reduce the airflow power decreases max by 10% and what I would not set - works on fullness.

    Is the problem in the air vents panel or somewhere else?
    Importantly - after removing the cube from the panel from the photo air vents are still working.

    I have a similar problem, but I have already installed a new resistor in my Partner I. The resistant one gets very hot after a few seconds, you can't touch it. Is he not going to burn in a minute? Is it normal?
    The matter is so strange that when I bought the car, one resistor was in reserve in the glove compartment, and the other was the blower - both burned.
    What do you advise?

    There if I'm not mistaken. There are transistors, not resistors. Is the blower stiff? It can also heat up excessively.

    The blower is operating normally.
    It is possible that the dust causes such a short circuit and heats up, or some wires are rubbed?

    It's not about the turnover, but about the current, it cannot charge above 25A.

    Hello, patient Berlingo 2003. The airflow does not work at all. I have not found the blower relay in the mk2 is already there. There is no fan power supply on the meter, the connected bulb also does not work. I took out the resistor, the blower resistor, the current transition is on this thermal miracle at the root. As for the fuses, I checked about 80%, unfortunately the descriptions of the Berlingo M49 MK1 leave a lot to be desired - I checked everything that had a blower in the name. Somewhere I read that the blades of the knob itself are also produced - airflow regulation, but I bet it is unlikely. I have no idea how to solve this temporarily. I picked out the regulator because they are all burnt anyway, one thing I can do is check whether the rotation of the knob causes the current to pass.
    According to the list of fuses, it was not easy to find
    https://fuseandrelay.com/citroen/berlingo.html is item 18 40A. The connected meter directly from the fuse to the plus of the plug is a transition.

    Have you got power on that 40A fuse?
    It should be after ignition or after starting the engine and go directly to the blower motor and the ground speed control from the switch through the resistor.

    Buddy, they will start by checking the resistor, namely the pins in the ankle, they have it to themselves that they like to sunbathe.

    Heh I'll say a good question I thought I measured everything but as you can see it seemed to me.

    The hatch tomorrow but it looked rather nice.

    Added after 11 [hours] 2 [minutes]:

    However, I am an amateur of sour apples. Half a day of tinkering and I did not check if the voltage on the fan went after starting the engine. I think I have met a car that fires windmills with the engine for the first time, or I pick for new ones ;) . It doesn't change the fact that it works. I don't know what was wrong, but since I unhooked everything and splashed it with contact, something helped. I bet that the plate of the rotation knob was to blame, the one with the photo-cleaned and bent guns.

    At least I will replace the backlight bulbs because everything is burnt.

    I have already explored the knowledge that the probable cause is a burnt resistor regulating the work steps, which should be located at the blower due to heating. Only looking around the fan I can't locate it. I pulled one cable from the fan area but it's hard to reach there and pull something out. Maybe it's in a different place?

    If I remember correctly put your head on the carpet and far above the gas there is a resistor.

FAQ

TL;DR: Peugeot Partner/Berlingo blower faults often trace to the resistor/regulator at the fan. Max blower current is 25 A; "it cannot draw above 25 A." Inspect/repair the regulator and verify the blower fuse. [Elektroda, Strumien swiadomosci swia, post #19099010]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps DIYers quickly locate, test, and fix no-speed/one-speed/full-blast HVAC fan issues on Partner/Berlingo models.

Quick Facts

Where is the blower resistor/regulator on a Peugeot Partner/Berlingo?

It’s inserted into the blower housing for cooling. Look for a small heatsink with two power transistors near the fan. You can remove the regulator from the housing for inspection or repair. The placement lets airflow cool it during operation and simplifies access once the lower trim is off. [Elektroda, spinacz, post #16768233]

How do I tell if my car has a resistor pack or an electronic regulator?

If the car has air conditioning, it uses an electronic step controller instead of a simple resistor pack. Non‑A/C versions typically have a classic resistor. The regulator sits in the blower duct either way, but the A/C unit carries a finned module with transistors. [Elektroda, spinacz, post #16768991]

My fan only works on 4th speed—what should I check first?

Check the blower resistor/regulator in the housing. On A/C cars, the electronic regulator fails and leaves only high speed or odd behavior. Remove the module, inspect for burned joints, and test. Replace or repair if damaged. “Replace or repair.” [Elektroda, spinacz, post #16774777]

The fan runs at full blast even with the control panel unplugged—why?

That symptom indicates a failed supply‑air regulator that is stuck on. The panel disconnect rules out the dashboard controls, so focus on the regulator module at the blower. Replace or repair the unit to restore variable speeds. [Elektroda, Strumien swiadomosci swia, post #17022660]

Which fuse feeds the blower, and what rating is it?

Partners/Berlingos in the M49/M59 range use a 40 A blower fuse identified as list item 18 in common fuse maps. Verify continuity and that the circuit is live with ignition or engine running, then check voltage at the blower connector. That 40 A figure is the key statistic here. [Elektroda, tacim, post #19673515]

No airflow on any speed—what’s the diagnostic order?

Confirm power on the 40 A blower fuse with ignition/engine on, then verify voltage reaching the blower. Ground speed control runs through the switch and resistor/regulator. If power is present but the motor doesn’t run, test the motor directly and inspect the module. [Elektroda, milejow, post #19674164]

Where exactly is the resistor on a Berlingo/Partner M59 without A/C?

Lie in the footwell and look high above the accelerator pedal area. The resistor module is tucked far up in the duct near the blower. Position your head on the carpet and use a flashlight to spot the connector and retaining screws. [Elektroda, tacim, post #20502105]

Is it normal for the resistor/regulator to get very hot?

Yes, it runs hot and needs airflow for cooling. On electronic versions, power transistors dissipate heat; a stiff or dragging blower can overheat the module. If the blower is hard to spin by hand, fix that first to protect the regulator from thermal stress. [Elektroda, rsv6, post #19098596]

My new resistor heats up in seconds—will it burn out?

It will overheat if the blower current is excessive. The circuit should not draw above 25 A. Measure current at high speed and fix any cause of overcurrent (seized motor, wiring fault) before the module fails again. “It cannot draw above 25 A.” [Elektroda, Strumien swiadomosci swia, post #19099010]

How do I replace or repair the blower resistor/regulator?

  1. Remove the lower trim and access the blower housing; locate the finned module.
  2. Unplug the connector, undo the screws, and slide the module out for inspection.
  3. Repair solder joints or replace the unit; reinstall and test all speeds. “Regulator can be dismantled for repair.” [Elektroda, spinacz, post #16768233]

My fan connector (cube) is damaged—what are my options?

If the plug is heat-damaged, re-terminate with a quality pigtail and high‑temp crimp/solder. Some owners permanently solder connections to eliminate burnt contacts. Verify low resistance on grounds and clean the socket before reassembly. Reflowing or soldering restored function for users. [Elektroda, rsv6, post #19097725]

Could a dirty control panel cause no blower operation?

Dirty or oxidized contacts can interrupt the signal on older panels. Cleaning and slightly bending the contact “guns” restored operation for one user after reassembly. If power returns, replace backlight bulbs while the panel is open. This is a useful edge‑case fix. [Elektroda, tacim, post #19674371]

Do I need the engine running to see blower power on the meter?

Some models energize the blower circuit only with the engine running. If you see no voltage with ignition on, start the engine and test again. After reconnecting and cleaning, one user confirmed operation only after engine start. [Elektroda, tacim, post #19674371]

What if the resistor connector pins look okay but the fan still won’t run?

Pins can heat‑soak and lose spring tension even when they look fine. Inspect for browning, melting, or looseness. Reseat the plug firmly or replace the connector body to restore tight contact and stable current flow under load. [Elektroda, fredflinst, post #19674181]

Why did both my blower and resistor fail together?

A dragging blower increases current, overheating the resistor/regulator until both fail. Check that the blower spins freely by hand, then measure current on high speed. Replace the motor if stiff to prevent repeat module failure. Electronic versions use transistors sensitive to overload. [Elektroda, rsv6, post #19098596]

I can’t locate the resistor—am I looking in the right place?

Yes—focus on the blower housing. The part you remove is the module with a heatsink and two transistors. Unplugging the blower itself will also stop high speed, confirming you’re near the correct components. Remove the fan cover to see the module. [Elektroda, spinacz, post #16768233]
