Renault Spider Blower Failure

My 1998 Renault Spider with a gasoline engine has a fresh air blower that's stopped working. The motor is unresponsive, and there's an error stored. Sounds like a defective blower motor, right? Has anyone else had this?

I had a similar problem with my Spider. The heater fan can be temperamental. Check the fan speed controller or the wiring. Might be something simpler than the motor itself.

When you had the issue, did the error memory also point to the blower motor? Did you notice any weird electrical behavior before it failed?

Yes, the error pointed to the blower motor, so I replaced it. But the new one didn't work until I found some corroded wiring. Honestly, I'd suggest a workshop, especially if you're not comfortable with electrical diagnostics. It's annoying to cause more damage.

Good advice, a professional diagnosis makes sense. I'll book a workshop to check the wiring and motor. Estimate is 365€. Thanks!
