Skoda Rapid Blower Motor Issue

I had a similar problem with my Rapid. The blower motor stopped working, and I also had an error code stored. Did you check the fan speed controller? It regulates the voltage to the blower motor, controlling the air flow. If that fails, it can prevent the blower from working. In my case, the defective blower motor was the reason for the error. What diagnostic steps have you taken so far?

Thanks for the reply! When you say 'fan speed controller', are you referring to the resistor pack that controls the voltage to the blower? And did replacing the blower motor sort it out completely for you, or was there more to it?

Yes, by 'fan speed controller', I mean the resistor pack. In my situation, the defective blower was the problem. But the error code pointed to that area of the system. Given that you have an error stored, and you suspect the motor, it's a strong possibility that replacing it will resolve the issue. I would probably recommend taking it to a workshop to confirm that diagnosis and estimate the repair costs before proceeding.

Cheers for the help! Turns out, it was indeed the blower motor, as suspected. 365€ later, the HVAC system is back up and running. The invoice mentioned something about replacing a resistor as well, possibly the fan speed controller. Either way, good air circulation once again!
