Omega Blower motor not working - JamesT
I have a P reg Omega 2.5 with climate control. Just recently the blower motor has stopped working. The air con seems to be working as when driving some cold or warm air comes through the vents. I have checked the fuse and relay. I have removed the glove box to get at the motor but it looks as though it will be difficult to get to the motor itself. Can someone suggest a way of checking the motor and circuits while still in the car?

Does the motor still work on the highest speed? If so, then it could be that the resistor pack on the motor has failed.

Faulty connector duff fuse or worn out brushes I'm afraid. You need to get to the fan unit to measure the voltage across the motor. Regards Peter

I have checked the fuse and it measures OK. It looks like I will have to remove the fan and see what is going on. Thanks for your help.

This could be a problem with the motor or possibly the electronic fan speed control module which is situated in the air ducting,above & to the right of the motor.Access is much easier if you remove the glovebox.
