Seat heaters and cabin fan both not working - all

Seat heaters, cigarette lighter (charger), and cabin fan all not working - all fuses seem to be fine. electronic controls show fan at all levels, no air being pushed through the vents. the leds on the seat heater switches do not work either. am i missing something - seems like a blown fuse, but can't find one?

There is a breaker and it is likely pooched or it is shorted
try replacing breaker buy it from dealer and ask them where to install it they will show you
total cost 10 bucks
failing that start looking at the wires and the master fuses under hood

I'm actually experiencing this same problem right now. Philip, were you able to get this fixed, and if so do you know what the problem was?

Cigarette lighter receptacle won't work

Not a Peugeot expert, but its possible the charger is not going in far enough to touch the center of the lighter receptacle. Does the lighter work with the lighter element ?
Sometimes debris collects in the bottom of the receptacle and blocks the contacts.

Heater fan and cigarette lighter don't work

The fuse for these items is the second one down in the right hand row in the fusebox down by the driver's feet. Swap the fuse with another one to check.

Apart from the fuse box in the engine bay there is a fuse repository behind the coin alcove underneath the boot release. Fuse 3 for the lighter (I think) was blown. I replaced it and now the climate control console responds and the display lights up.

Cigarette lighter sockets no power

Cell phone chargers commonly blow the fuses at the power points. It seems that our charger adaptors do not match the socket properly, and the positive part of the charger hits the negative of the socket, resulting in a blown fuse. If you have a charger, and it works, leave it in the socket. Don't take it with you. Repeated insertions of the adaptor to the socket magnifies this issue.
