Wind Cabin Fan Failure

Alright, Renault Wind owners, I've got a head-scratcher. My 2010 Wind, gasoline engine, with 219783 km on the clock, has decided to stop blowing air. The cabin fan is completely dead. Hooked it up to diagnostics and it's throwing an error, but the blower motor just isn't spinning. I'm suspecting a defective blower motor, but wanted to see if anyone else had a similar issue before I start tearing things apart. Fuses are all good, by the way. Any thoughts on checking the electrical wiring before replacing it? Or is it straightforward?

I own a Wind too, and I had similar symptoms last year. The air flow just stopped without any warning signs. It turned out to be more complex than I initially thought.

More complex, you say? Interesting. Can you elaborate? What did you have to do to fix it? I am trying to avoid spending too much money and time.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to fix it myself. I brought it to a local workshop and got the system diagnosed. They confirmed that the blower motor was faulty, so I had to have the part and labor done there. I hope you're able to get to the bottom of it. The final invoice was around 365€ including VAT.

Thanks, appreciate the feedback! It seems like I'll be heading down a similar path. I purchased a new blower motor, and after a slight struggle getting to the old one, it's all sorted. The HVAC system is now working flawlessly. Cost me 365€ in the end. Thanks for your time!
