Ford Edge Blower Failure
Summary of the thread
A 2021 Ford Edge experienced a complete failure of the fresh air blower, with the motor unresponsive and an error code present. Initial checks of the fuses showed no issues, leading to questions about whether the problem was with the blower motor itself or possibly the wiring and HVAC system. Suggestions included checking the blower motor resistor, a common issue in similar cases. Ultimately, the problem was diagnosed as a defective blower motor, which was repaired at a local workshop.

Can you tell me where the blower motor resistor is and how you tested it? I can use a multimeter, but any specific advice for the Edge's HVAC system would be great. Can I get to it without taking apart the whole dashboard?

I didn't test it myself, not confident enough with electrical stuff. Google should show you where it is for your model year. If the resistor looks okay, I'd just take it to a shop to save yourself the trouble.

I took it to a local workshop. The blower motor was defective, causing the air circulation failure. The repair was 365€ including parts and labor. Thanks for the help; your advice sped up the diagnosis.

I had a similar problem with my Edge. The heater fan quit suddenly. Did you check the blower motor resistor? That was my problem, but I didn't get an error code. Worth a look before you assume the motor is dead.
