Qashqai Blower Motor Failure

My 2012 Nissan Qashqai diesel's fresh air blower stopped working. It's done about 70920 km. The blower motor is dead, and a diagnostic scan shows an error. Could it be the blower motor, or something else?

Based on that, a defective blower motor is likely. Did you check the blower motor resistor or fan speed controller? Those could also stop the blower. What was the error code? That might help pinpoint the problem.

I haven't checked the resistor or controller yet, but I will. I don't have the error code right now. If the resistor and controller are okay, is the blower motor probably the issue? What do you recommend?

If the resistor and controller are fine, the blower motor is likely the problem. It's not unusual for blower motors to fail on older cars with that mileage. Without the error code, it's hard to be certain. I'd suggest a mechanic do a thorough inspection to find the exact cause before you fix anything.

I took your advice and went to a local workshop. The blower motor was defective and is now replaced. The total cost was about 365€ including parts and labor. Thanks for the help!
