Espace blower motor failure
Summary of the thread
A 2023 Renault Espace with a hybrid engine is experiencing a non-functional fresh air blower motor, despite basic fuses being intact. Possible causes include a defective blower motor, issues with the fan speed controller, faulty electrical wiring, or a malfunctioning resistor pack. Suggested solutions involve checking the fan speed controller, testing the electrical wiring with a multimeter, and potentially replacing the blower motor. Ultimately, the issue was resolved by replacing the defective blower motor at a local shop.

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!

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.
