Ford Edge Blower Failure

My 2021 Ford Edge diesel has a complete fresh air blower failure. The motor is unresponsive, and there's an error code. I checked the fuses, but they're fine. Could it just be the blower motor, or should I check the wiring and HVAC system? It has 68441 km on it. Any ideas before I pay for a costly repair?

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.

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.
