Ecosport blower motor issue

Hey, I'm having a weird issue with my 2003 Ford Ecosport diesel. The blower motor isn't working at all. I've been digging, and it looks like it might be the AUC sensor – the Auto Recirculation Control sensor, right? The one that's supposed to detect pollutants and automatically close the air recirculation flap? My research points to a defective cable or plug connection for this sensor. Has anyone else run into this? It's driving me nuts!

The blower motor in a 2003 Ford Ecosport diesel stopped working, and the issue was suspected to be related to the AUC sensor, which controls air recirculation based on pollutant detection. The problem was identified as a defective cable or plug connection for the sensor. The suggested solution was to have the vehicle diagnosed and repaired at a workshop, which successfully resolved the issue by fixing the sensor cable.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

I had a similar problem with my Ecosport. The AUC sensor, or odor sensor as some call it, can definitely cause issues with the ventilation system. Is it possible that a wire came loose?

Thanks for the reply! When you say similar problem, did your blower motor also completely stop working? And did you manage to fix it yourself, or did you have to take it somewhere? I'm trying to avoid a costly repair bill if I can!

Yes, the blower motor stopped completely. Given the potential complexity of the wiring and sensor, and without proper diagnostic tools, I would recommend taking it to a workshop. They can properly diagnose the issue and ensure a reliable repair.

Thanks a lot for the advice! I took it to a workshop, and you were right – it was the AUC sensor cable. They charged me 95€ to fix it, but at least it's working now!
