Corsa Blower Motor Failure

My 2014 Vauxhall Corsa diesel's fresh air blower is completely dead, and there's an error code stored. I think it's the blower motor, but has anyone seen this before I start taking the dash apart? Mileage is 101686 km. Any thoughts?

Sounds like the blower motor's gone. Have you checked the blower motor resistor and the fuse for the HVAC system? Sometimes it's a simple fix. But if there is an error code, it points towards the motor.

I did check the fuse – that's fine. Where is the blower motor resistor located on these Corsas? Is it hard to get to? I hope it's not buried behind the glove box.

It's usually near the blower motor, often accessible from the passenger footwell. With those symptoms, the error code, and the mileage, I'd guess it's a defective motor. It might be worth getting it checked by a workshop before you spend too much time on it.

You were spot on! I took it to a local garage, and the blower motor was indeed toast. Cost me 365€ all in. Thanks for the advice, saved me a load of hassle!
