Espace blower motor failure

Experiencing an issue with my Renault Espace, 2023 build, hybrid engine. The fresh air blower isn't working. The blower motor is inactive, and an error is stored. I've checked the basic fuses, but everything seems to be in order. Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

I had a similar issue with my Espace (don't remember the year). It could be the blower motor itself. Sometimes they just give up. Have you checked the fan speed controller or the electrical wiring leading to the blower? A faulty resistor pack can also cause this. You have to check if there is voltage at the blower.

Where exactly is the fan speed controller located in the Espace, and is it easily accessible? Also, is there a specific way to test the electrical wiring without specialized equipment?

The fan speed controller is usually near the blower motor, often behind the glove box. Access can be a pain. As for testing, a simple multimeter can check for voltage. If you're not comfortable with electrical work, I'd recommend taking it to a workshop. A defective blower motor is the most likely cause, but diagnosis can be tricky.

I appreciate the advice. I took it to a local shop, and you were right; the blower motor was defective. The total repair cost came to 365€. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!
