Megane Blower Motor Failure

Hi, I'm having a problem with my 2010 Renault Megane diesel. The fresh air blower isn't working. The blower motor doesn't spin, and I've got an error stored. I suspect it's the blower motor itself. Has anyone experienced this before? I checked all the fuses, and they seem fine. Could it be the HVAC system, maybe something with the heater fan or electrical wiring? Or even the fan speed controller, or the climate control unit? Any ideas where to start?

Hey, I had a similar issue with my Megane. Blower just quit. Before tearing things apart, have you checked the resistor pack? It's often the culprit when the fan stops working entirely.

Thanks for the suggestion! Where exactly is the resistor pack located? Is it easy to get to, or does the whole dashboard need to come apart? Is there a way to test it before replacing it?

On mine, it was near the blower motor, accessible from the passenger footwell. Honestly, I didn't test it; just took it to the workshop. They confirmed it was the resistor and then found out the blower motor was bad, too.

Thanks a lot! I took it to the shop, and you were right – the blower motor was indeed defective. Cost me 365€ to get it fixed, but at least I have fresh air again!
