DS3 Blower Motor Failure

Citroen DS3, 2014 diesel, 83k km. The fresh air blower isn't working. The blower motor isn't running and there is an error stored. Suspect it's the blower motor itself. Thoughts?

Hmm, the blower motor is a pretty common failure point, I guess. Has the air con been weaker than normal recently? Could also be the fan speed controller, but if there's an error code pointing directly to the blower, it probably is that. Any sign of life at all, even on the highest setting? And have you checked the relevant fuses? That would be my first step.

No, air con was fine. Nothing on any speed setting. I haven't checked fuses yet. Which fuse specifically controls the blower?

Okay, with no air con issues and no fan at any speed, blower motor is still my main suspect. The fuse layout should be in your owner's manual. Check that first, but honestly, with the error code and those symptoms, you might save yourself some time and just book it into a workshop. Let them confirm, but a new blower motor is likely what you need.
