Problems with ventilation and warning light on Citroen DS5 petrol engine 2015 - suspected solar sensor defect

Insufficient Cooling/Heating

Blower does not work properly

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

Hi guys, I have a strange problem with my Citroen DS5 petrol engine, year of manufacture 2015. The ventilation is spinning, the heating/cooling is no longer sufficient and a warning light is illuminated in the speedometer. I suspect that the solar sensor could be defective. Do any of you have experience with this problem and can give me some troubleshooting tips? How did you get this solved in your workshop? Thank you for your help!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2013 Citroen C5. I would describe myself as someone with some experience with cars. When I observed the same symptoms in my car, I went straight to my garage. There they discovered that the wiring harness was faulty. The work cost me around 155 euros. Of course, it is difficult to make an exact statement from a distance, but it might be helpful to know a little more about your vehicle. How long have you had these problems and has there been any previous work on the ventilation/heating system?

Thanks for your tip. These problems occurred 2 weeks ago. Before that I had no problems with the ventilation/heating and nothing was done about it. My DS5 now has 66407 KM on it, the last service was 6 months ago. I hadn't heard anything about the wiring harness yet, but I'll take it to my garage. Maybe that's my problem too. Thank you very much!

Hey, you're welcome! Hope it helps you. Two weeks is a long time when you consider how unpleasant poor heating/cooling can be, especially now that it's getting cold. In my Citroen it was the wiring harness, but of course the problem could be elsewhere. Since your last service was 6 months ago, it certainly won't hurt to take another look at the vehicle. And who knows, maybe it really is just the solar sensor. Please keep us posted on what comes out of it, I'd be interested to know. And don't let it get you down, you can learn a lot about cars from something like this. Good luck!

Hey, thanks for the kind words! Yes, you're absolutely right, especially now in the cold season it's really unpleasant. I'll definitely pass on your recommendations to my garage and hopefully it really is just the solar sensor or the wiring harness. I'll definitely keep you posted and share what comes out of it. And you're right, you never stop learning, even with cars. Thanks for your help and advice!
