EMehari Blower Problem

Help! My 2017 Citroen EMehari (electric) has a blower problem. The fresh air blower isn't working, and there's an error stored. I suspect the blower motor is defective, but electrical stuff isn't my strong suit. Anyone had this?

I experienced a similar problem with my 2014 Renault Zoe, which also uses an electric motor. When you say 'error stored,' are you referring to a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) retrievable via an OBD II scanner? The HVAC system relies on a complex network of sensors and actuators. The blower motor's operation is governed by the climate control module, which receives inputs from temperature sensors and user settings. A fault within this circuit can trigger an error code and disable the blower motor for protection. You might want to check the fuses related to the HVAC system and blower motor before assuming a defective motor.

Yes, it's a DTC. I'll have to get the exact code when I get a chance to check it with a scanner. The fuses seem okay on first glance, but I'll double-check. Any idea which specific fuses to focus on?

The specific fuse designation should be listed in your owner's manual. Look for fuses associated with the HVAC system, climate control, or cabin fan. If the fuses are intact, the issue might lie deeper within the electrical wiring or the blower motor itself. Given that a DTC is present, and based on your vehicle's mileage of 140293 km, it is advisable to consult a qualified technician to diagnose and rectify the fault. Continuing to operate the vehicle with a known electrical fault can potentially exacerbate the problem and lead to further component damage. The eventual repair cost may be around 365€.

Thanks for the info! Looks like I'm heading to the shop then. Hopefully, it's just the blower motor, like I suspect.
