Seat Alhambra Climate Control Blower Problem

My 2022 Seat Alhambra with a gasoline engine has developed a weird problem. The blower motor for the climate control isn't working at all. I've done some digging, and I suspect it might be an AUC sensor fault. Could a defective cable or plug connection be the real culprit here? Seems strange that would completely kill the blower.

Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my Alhambra, although I can't remember exactly when it happened. Does it seem like the blower motor never kicks in at all? I'd check the air conditioning sensor, particularly the connections. It might be a loose plug. It's like when your home internet goes down because a cable wiggled loose.

When you say air conditioning sensor, are you referring to the air quality sensor? Where exactly is that located? I've seen some stuff online about a BMW AUC sensor, but not sure if that's the same thing.

Yep, air quality sensor, same thing. Sometimes called an AUC sensor - Air Quality Control. I believe it's located near the air intake, often behind the front bumper. Honestly, if you're not comfortable poking around, it might be worth getting it checked. Could save you time and potential headaches. Maybe a quick diagnostic at a workshop?

Just wanted to close the loop. Took it to a local shop. They confirmed it was the AUC sensor and replaced it. Total cost was 95€. Air conditioning is working again now. Thanks for the help!
