The blower has stopped working on my 2008 Fabia two 3 (Elegance), I've replaced the 5amp fuse number 9 (operating control for heating, control unit for air conditioning ) and the 7.5amp fuse number 22 (heating, air con as above) and the 25 amp fuse number 39 for the blower, none of them had blown anyway.

When I turn the ignition and start the car the Climatic Control LCD panel flashes for about 10 secs ( it's never done this b4) then shows as normal, the different functions change correctly as different options are chosen but no air comes out of any vent.

I've bust my foot so am not driving at the mo so can't establish if any heat comes out when the thermostat kicks in or whether the coolant temp dial moves.

My wife can't/won't drive the Superb so we are stuck when it's cold/damp/icy at the moment.

Does anyone have any idea what's causing the problem, I've just paid for cam belt and pump on both motors and my eyes are still watering and so hoping there is an obscure quick fix for it.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers Robert.

Have the ol' disconnect, reconnect the battery attempt before doing more searching. I am no longer surprised just how many things reinstate themselves to the correct operating functions after trying that. Pop off earth terminal. go have a cuppa/wash the dog/make the beds, (You pick) Then, come back, reconnect and see if it helped. If not, the beds made, the dog is clean or you are no longer thirsty but no worse off!

 

(This seems to be the modern car equivalent of kicking/banging the top of the tv if the picture keeps rolling, etc)!

possibly the fan resistors.

Thanks mrgf I may try the ol' battery trick tomorrow but will deffo not be doing any chores, the leg in plaster excuses me from any of that sort of thing.

Thanks Lee01, not sure if the climatic air con control has fan resisters, any idea how I find out if it could be them?

Not sure if the results would be exactly the same as standard, non climatic switches but try turning it all the way the the max and see if it works then.

On the standard ones with 1-4 on them if the resistor goes it will work only on number 4 because that's a direct contact, bypassing the resister altogether.

Thanks OoTW,

I've tried turning the knob control to full and switching the max windscreen button on, both increase the bars on the LCD display to full but no luck with any blown air thanks.

I was hoping it was a blown fuse or loose wire or some 'reset' function like mrgf's battery trick rather than dealer fix. ????

Just had a horrible thought, does anyone know if this problem could in any way connected to the fact my Fab has had a new water pump fitted a couple of hundred miles ago.
