C3 Blower Motor Failure

Hi, I have a 2009 Citroen C3 diesel. My fresh air blower has stopped working. The blower motor isn't running, and there's an error stored. I suspect it's a defective blower motor. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hey! I had a similar problem with my C3. The air flow was non-existent. Was the air conditioning acting up before it completely failed? Did you check the heater fan relay? It might save you a few quid before replacing the whole motor.

Thanks for the tip! No, the air conditioning was working perfectly fine until the blower just quit. Where exactly is the heater fan relay located? And is it easy to check? I'm not very experienced with car electrics.

Okay, if the AC was fine until the end, it's probably not a fuse issue. Honestly, finding the relay can be a pain, and since you're not too confident with electrics, maybe it's best to get a workshop to take a look. Better safe than sorry, you know?

Thanks, I think you're right. I took it to a local garage, and it turned out to be a defective blower motor, just as I suspected. The repair, including parts and labor, came to 365€. Appreciate your help!
