Peugeot 406 - Video tutorial

Model: Peugeot 406 MK 1 - Years 1995-2005
Part: Air conditioning
Operation: Air conditioning recirculation

The guide begins by showing how the recirculation of the air conditioning does not work. First you remove the pollen filter to see if the air recirculation section works. You can see how the flap is closed, the glove compartment has been removed to have access to this part, so that most of the screws are visible. Also remove the cover from the edge of the dashboard. There is a hidden wire behind the glovebox, the plug of the light switch from the glovebox must be disconnected. The gasket is then detached from the edge of the dashboard and the rear part of it removed. By pressing the button you can see how the air recirculation does not work. The connector is then disconnected and the air recirculation can now be opened by hand. Plastic gears usually break. The motor has been put in place with the folding mechanism, an external battery is required to align the teeth correctly and have an optimal data synchronization. The motor proved to work much better connected to a battery, the plug connecting the motor to the frame was causing problems so the wires are soldered together bypassing the faulty connector problem.
