V50 blower motor issue

Hi, I'm having trouble with my 2007 Volvo V50 diesel. The fresh air blower isn't working. The blower motor doesn't spin, and there's an error stored. I suspect the blower motor is defective. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Hey, I had a similar problem with my old Renault Megane. The cabin fan just quit. Did you check the fuse for the blower motor? It might be a simple fix. If the fuse is good, then yeah, the motor is likely the culprit. I'm no expert, but that's what happened to me.

Thanks for the tip! I did check the fuse, and it seems to be okay. Is there anything else I should consider before replacing the motor? Was it a pain to replace in your Megane?

Well, if the fuse is fine, and the motor isn't making any noise, it really does sound like the motor. Honestly, on the Megane, it was a bit fiddly to get to, but nothing too crazy. I ended up taking it to a local shop. They diagnosed it quickly and replaced the blower motor. Saved me the hassle. Might be worth getting a quote from a mechanic just to be sure, especially if you're not confident doing it yourself.

Thanks a lot for the advice! I appreciate you sharing your experience with the Renault. I think I'll take your advice and get a quote from a local mechanic. They confirmed it was the blower motor and replaced it for 365€. All good now!
