Top 20 1990 Peugeot 405 Questions & Answers

High resistance in the circuit, it needs to be diagnosed; it could be simply a bad grounding.

Golf should have an adjustable cable at the transmission.

It will be a 20 amp fuse or higher thats for sure ,remove the holder and check the back as some ciggy lighters have a link and this burns out if a air pump is used

It sounds like the cable is dry. With the car turned off spray a lubricant like WD-40 on the exposed end of the cable and work it back and forth as you do. It should free up. It wouldn't hurt to spray the throttle lever either. Hope this helps.

whyt do need a diagram this is so easy as its all marked ,but if your having problems then i will help but i have to get ready for work now and just haveing a quick look at the questions as most are american beasts ands i dont know much about them ,true the theory is the same but ?? anyway i have a peugeot 306 sedan diesel in the yard to change a water pump today and its the same engine so i will take some pics on teh phone so you can see it as and how ,so make sure you answer this post by tonight

a citreon XZ a real car and not an oversized gas guzzler ,Now if you mean the glow plug heaters then it has no sensor but a built in temperature sensor and timer on this model the heater plugs will stay on for a set period of time ,if you explain more of what your problem is i should be able to answer with no sweat as work on these jam jars all the time .

Hi

it sounds like the tempreture sensor needs replacing, is the car overheating at all?

check the bulb holder on the back light first ,they often corrode use engine oil to prevent this ,works wonders trust me

you dont just take teh little black chip out of old key and put it in new key or tape it to teh transponder behind the shroud on the column

remove the headlights ang grill then open the screws of bumper then open other two screws from the both sides of mudguard inside the mudd sheet. it is not necessary to remove bumper for removing of radiator just open two large screws of radiato and remove the pipes and lift it upward.

They mean something is not right with the vehicle check your owners manual for details.

Check HERE if your symbol appear: Peugeot wiringdiagrams

Probably is refer to any engine warning, keep in mind that the RED LIGHTS are very important to check. If you need the technical info, here can find Peugeot-406-Repair-Manual

Hope helps.

The standard for tow bar wiring is 6 wire: power, ground, tail lights, brake lights, left signal, right signal.

But you don't really need power. It all depends on the socket.

it is the engine managment light it comes on if there is a problem with the engine sensors or emissions problem

If your car is a manual gear change, your clutch may need adjusting or repair or the gearbox oil may need changing.
If your car is an auto check to see if you are using the correct transmission fluid , Peugeot autos do not use normal ATF and will fail if the correct fluid is not used.
Hope this helps Marshall

if u remove the under cover in the passenger foot well, just turn the fan blower on full and hit the first thing you see when u look under the pass foot well with the palm of your hand and the blower should start to work.

its deffintly the clutch as these cars have a pull type clutch. which means that the clutch will keep going until the car wont move.

Sounds like a blown cylinder head gasket between the water and oil passages and galleries. Is the amount of oil significant..not just a hint of a film? Do you have any sign of creamy looking 'mayonnaise' on the under side of the oil filler cap and entrance? This would be sign of the reverse i.e. that water had got into the oil. The oil in the engine is driven around the galleries under pressure, certainly more pressure than the coolant, so if there is a connecting leak oil will be forced through it into the coolant. The best way to make sure is to have your coolant system pressure checked by you local garage when the engine is really cold. With the engine off and the oil filler cap removed a leak will be indicated by the coolant pressure dropping slowly (as water is forced through the leak back into the oil system). Also monitoring the pressure of the coolant when the engine is started from cold will also reveal a leak. The coolant is at normal atmospheric pressure when cold and only when the engine gets hot does the pressure within the coolant system rise (somewhere between 7 - 10psi depending on power unit). However if there is a leak the pressure of the coolant will rise rapidly as the oil system reaches pressure quickly, in other words the coolant system will be forced to the same pressure as the oil system through the leak. The remedy is to renew the head gasket.

yes coil pack ,renown for this fault ,but a nice set of wheels all the same

It may be the ignition switch has too much wear and is not providing current to the blower motor.

If it was a relay it would not work at all.

Check that first by wiggling the key until the motor starts if it does not then check your relay, and check for current at the motor at all speeds.
