Mini Cooper Fresh Air Blower Issue
Summary of the thread
The 2014 Mini Cooper experienced a fresh air blower issue, with the blower motor not operating and an error stored in the memory. The initial assessment suggested a defective blower motor, affecting both the cabin fan and air conditioning. The recommended solution was to check fuses, relays, and use a multimeter to test the blower motor connector. Ultimately, the blower motor was replaced at a workshop, resolving the issue, with the repair cost aligning with expectations.

The error memory does indicate a fault with the blower motor. I haven't checked the fuses or relays yet. Could you elaborate on how to use a multimeter to test the blower motor connector?

Okay, if the diagnostic trouble code is specific to the blower motor and you're not getting any fan speed at all, it's most likely the motor itself has failed. The fact that the heater fan and air conditioning aren't working supports this, as they both rely on the blower to move air. Given the potential complexity of diagnosing electrical issues, especially without proper tools or experience, I'd suggest taking it to a reputable workshop for replacement. The estimated repair cost of 365€ sounds reasonable for a blower motor replacement, including parts and labor.

Thank you for the clarification. I had the blower motor replaced at the workshop, and the air circulation is now functioning correctly again. The cost was 365€, which aligns with your assessment. I appreciate your prompt assistance.

Sounds like a classic blower motor failure. Does the error code specifically point to the blower motor circuit? Have you checked the associated fuses and relays before condemning the motor itself? A multimeter would be handy to check for voltage at the blower motor connector when the heater fan should be running.
