Sequoia Blower Motor Failure

Hey, I've got a 2022 Toyota Sequoia (hybrid engine) with about 50k kilometers. The fresh air blower just stopped working. The air conditioning doesn't blow at all now. I've checked fuses, but no luck. There's an error stored, but I can't read it. Any ideas what could be wrong? Really strange. Already sweating!

Ugh, that sucks. Is it completely dead, or does it sometimes work on certain settings? Could be the fan speed controller maybe? Or even just some dodgy electrical wiring. Have you checked if the blower motor is getting any power at all?

Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah, it's completely dead, no fan at all, on any setting. How can I check if the blower motor is getting power? I don't really know where to start looking for the blower motor, or how to test it with a multimeter...

Sounds like the blower motor is the issue, and I'd say you're looking at replacing it. Seeing as you have no idea where it is, I wouldn't mess with multimeters and the like. I'd take it to a trusted workshop. You don't want to mess with the car's electrical system yourself!

Thanks for the advice! Took it to a workshop and you were spot on, the blower motor was defective. Cost me about 365€ to get it replaced. Now the HVAC system is working again!
