Description
The Sahara Resistor Cartier is a vital component in the engine cooling system of Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. It controls the speed of the cooling fan, helping to maintain optimal engine temperature and prevent overheating during various driving conditions.
Commonly used in multiple PSA models, this resistor regulates the electrical current that powers the cooling fan, allowing it to operate at different speeds depending on the engine’s thermal needs. If the resistor fails, the cooling fan may be stuck at a single speed or may not operate at all, leading to potential engine overheating or reduced climate control efficiency.
Replacement is typically straightforward for experienced mechanics and well-equipped DIY enthusiasts. Access usually involves removing panels near the radiator or behind the engine bay, followed by disconnecting and swapping the resistor unit. Regular inspection is advised, especially if overheating issues or inconsistent fan operation are noticed.
