Mini Paceman Blower Motor Issues

Alright, I'm officially losing it. My 2015 Mini Paceman diesel has decided to ditch me in the fresh air department. The blower motor isn't working AT ALL. Zero air flow. I've got an error stored, which points to a defective blower motor, but I'm hoping there's a simple fix I'm missing before I drop serious cash. Any ideas on what to check with the HVAC system before I assume the worst? I'm dying without my cabin fan!

Sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with my Paceman, although I think the year was a bit different. My air circulation just stopped. Did you check the fan speed controller? Sometimes that's the culprit, but for me, it was the blower motor itself. It's like the engine just gives up.

So, when you say blower motor, was it obvious? Like, did it make weird noises before it died, or did it just completely stop working one day? I've got an error code stored, which points to the blower motor, but I'm still hoping it's something simpler before I shell out the cash.

Yeah, no warning signs for me either - one day it was working fine, the next, nothing. Complete silence. I'd trust the error code; it's probably the blower motor. Honestly, unless you're super comfortable digging into the dash, it might be worth just taking it to a workshop. Labour is a killer if you don't know what you're doing.

Dude, thanks so much for sharing your experience! Took it to the workshop today, and you nailed it – blower motor was fried. 365€ lighter now, but at least I have air flow again. I was going crazy without the cabin fan. Much appreciated!
