Hi thanks for your continued interest. No they were not able to spin up the blower. I was not super confident that they properly tried this once they had seen the blower fault. If I take out the dash I will connect 12 v to fan to see if motor dead. Unfortunately I can't get at the connector. Any suggestions welcome.

This mornings diagnostics....the machine had two faults "central wiring" and also "air-conditioning". The central wiring fault I think is drivers door central locking - it has been like that for a few months, The air conditioning fault when interrogated deeper said blower motor faulty. I hope that this is not a red herring because it is a dashboard removal and I don't want to go for that till all avenues are exhausted. If anyone has any advice it would be appreciated. Thanks for contributions thus far.

Thanks that is what I was hoping. It will help me decide whether to commit to a dashboard removal.

Thank you very much. Is there any way of determining the fan is the faulty component or the solid state controller or the climstronic dash panel. ?

Yes thanks I pulled the fuse 39 and it looked good. Thanks for quick reply. More suggestions welcomed !

The climatronic controls visually look normal but I cannot hear or feel the blower fan. I understand that the change of fan requires the dash to be removed and that there is no resistor pack on climatronic. My strategy was to try and access the wiring to the fan and verify 12v is present. The fan is not seized and can be spun by hand via the pollen filter access. Can anyone suggest what tests I can do before committing to pulling the dashboard. Would a diagnostics reader establish anything ?
