Kubistar blower motor failure

Hi, I'm having a weird issue with my 2007 Nissan Kubistar diesel. The fresh air blower isn't working at all. The fan speed controller seems dead. I've checked fuses, and there's an error stored in the error memory related to the blower motor. Thinking it might be a defective blower motor causing the air flow problem? Any ideas before I start ripping things apart?

Sounds familiar. I had a similar air circulation problem on my Kubistar a while back. Same symptoms – cabin fan wouldn't spin, and I was getting an error. Have you tested the blower motor resistor pack? They are known to cause issues and are cheaper than replacing the whole motor.

Thanks for the tip! I hadn't thought of that. Whereabouts is the resistor pack located? And did replacing yours solve the whole issue or were there knock-on effects?

Yeah, it's usually behind the glove box somewhere, near the blower motor itself. From memory, replacing it did the trick for me; heater fan worked fine after that. But if the motor's been straining because of the faulty resistor pack, it might have shortened its life. If the resistor doesn't fix it, I'd say workshop time. They should be able to properly test the motor itself.

I took your advice and got the system checked out. Turned out the blower motor was defective, just like I originally suspected. Cost me 365€ to replace. Thanks for the help!
