Astra Blower Motor Failure

I've got a 2023 Vauxhall Astra, hybrid engine, and the fresh air blower has completely stopped working. The car has 180698 km on the clock. No air at all coming through the vents, regardless of the speed setting. I've had a scan tool hooked up and it's showing an error stored in the error memory, but I don't have the specific code right now. It sounds like it could be a defective blower motor. Anyone else had similar air conditioning issues?

I had a similar problem with my Astra. Check the blower motor resistor, it could be that. Is the fan completely dead on all settings?

Yeah, completely dead on all settings. Where exactly is the blower motor resistor located? Is it easy enough to get to, or am I better off just taking it to a garage?

If it's dead on all settings, it's probably not the resistor. The resistor usually only affects some speeds. Sounds like the motor itself. To be honest, I'd get it checked out by a professional.

Thanks for the advice. Took it to the workshop and you were spot on - blower motor was dead. New one fitted and all working again. Cost me 365€ all in. Appreciate the help!
