Citroen C3 electrical faults
I have a 2005 Citroen C3 HDI 1.4. The power steering fails intermittently, as do the rev counter and the heater display. Also, the fan stops working and the battery light comes on.
This problem has been happening for two years. Two Citroen main agents can't cure it, and numerous independent garages can't cure it. When hooked to a diagnostic reader, it shows crank sensor (changed four times), cam sensor, changed four times, and temporary loss of ignition feed to air conditioning display. Reset all readings and all works for a day - then same faults return.

Given all that you have had dome so far, it is difficult to identify, it would appear that you have a loose/bad connection somewhere in the electrical system,which is intermittent,which in turn makes it very difficult to identify.
It may need the assistance of a good Auto Electrician (not a mechanic) to check the systems out.
