Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / April 2005405 recirculation motor clicking!
So as not to be left out, my 1995 405 has started the dreaded clicking noise. In some strange perverted way it almost seems reassuring that my car is typical of the breed! Over the years I have mainly read of this problem with 406s. I have two questions. 1 Do I need to remove the 405 glovebox to get access or just the panel on the right of the nearside footwell?. Any tips welcome. 2 Has anyone successfully acquired the plastic gear rumoured to be available from a radio controlled models and where did they get it from?. TIA Bob > So as not to be left out, my 1995 405 has started the dreaded clicking > noise.

Slid back the passenger seat. With the glovebox shut, I popped the hingepins out from under the glove box and then released the catch to withdraw the whole thing. I then prised off the two retainers holding the trim below the glovebox. The offending motor is on the left of the heater fan and there seems to be no way to get the holding screws out at this stage. There are a number of pop rivets that look like they hold the frame around the glove box. Even then I was not sure if this would allow enough access. I've decided that I did not want the ability to go into re-circulate mode so I made sure the flap was in fresh air mode and then with the ignition off, cut through the wire. Ok so it is a cop out but a darn sight easier way to stop the noise!! Hope this helps someone Bob It is definitely the season for this problem. My '94 405 estate has started the clicking too. Like Bob I have located the clicking motor (small black box) and also like Bob I can't see any easy way to get to it. I've searched previous posts which all seem to say "it's very difficult to get to, but can be done". I would be really grateful if someone could give some hints as to how to get to this motor to try to attempt a repair. If I really can't get to it I guess I'll be cutting the cable like Bob did.

I'm usually prepared to give most things a disproportionate amount of time to repair them and get satisfaction from doing so. But this is in the 'too difficult' pile - drilling rivets out with the attendant risk of screwing up other things on the way etc. I cant think of the last time I used the recirculation mode. It is too slow to shut to avoid the smell of an oil-burning car in front or to avoid the'farmyard effect'. It seems to that its only useful application is in great extremes of temperature when either the heater or aircon could use a bit of help. I too am suffering from this on a 1998 406 LX 1.9TD (Saloon). Started clicking one really cold morning a few weeks back. Got most of the passenger side dismantled, but it looks like to get the moulded glovebox out, you need to remove the dashboard in one piece to access some screws that are otherwise hidden... I couldn't pinpoint the actual motor at fault - and to echo other feelings on this, its a job that's too difficult right now. I've traced the wires back to the dash panel multiconnector and propose to cut the wire there, making it easier to reconnect when (or if) I fix the motor.

[quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Jon. just as easy to reach round and disconnect the motor If this motor is the same as the temp motor on the 1989 405, I repaired it with a set of gears from a secondhand blend flap servo motor from my P38A Range Rover. The servos are identical. Ron > So as not to be left out, my 1995 405 has started the dreaded clicking > noise. [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Bob The 405 recirc motor is easy to change or repair. Drill the rivits out around the glovebox to get at it, The whole panel will then lift out. Theres 5 rivits around the edge & 2 at the bottom. You need to unplug the central locking & heater control boxes that are on the back of this panel & dissconect the 2 x ABS plugs if they are fitted, Also theres a clip that holds the wiring loom on attached to this panel, you need to unclip it. Use some black counter sunk headed bolts & some speedy clips to put it back together.

Hi Have a look at this link, Ive managed to get the 406 dash apart in under 10 minutes so you can get at the flap motor nicely, Easy job when you know what screws to undo. http://clubpeugeotuk.proboards36.com/index.cgi? board=Technical&action=display&num=1109435548 |
