Default ac blower fan

got an issue with the fan.

aircon and heater are working fine when the fan is running.

fan generally wont run, turn it upto full and give an area under the glove box a hit and the fan kicks in, sometimes comes on if we hit a bump in the road too.
once its running it seems to stay on, but does fluctuate in power to some extent.

i'm assuming the fan is stuffed.

has anyone here had a similar problem?

It's possible that the bearing in the fan is stuffed but if it isn't noisy when operating (like a bearing noise) then it might just have something blocking it.

Is this on all speeds including hi speed
Check for power and earth on wiring also check for burnt connections

If it starts working by giving it a tap with a hammer then probably fan motor is kaput

On an AU, it’s dash out. Truly.

Should’ve quoted you before you edited your post!

Ah well, here’s a picture of Kim Kardashian in a bikini, just to fill out the post a little.

the fan is not working at all now.

i can get a used replacement for $75 (nothing available new)

has anyone removed the dash/replaced the blower motor before?
dash out seems like quite a big job, and i cant really find any info on this.
