Blower motor resistor .. question

Recommended Posts

Posted

Scenario. 
Blower motor was replaced 3 years ago (however, less than 15K miles ago - thanks Covid for interfering with our usual MINI mileage accruals) 

It wouldn't come on yesterday. I can hear the AC compressor kick in, but nothing blows - not nor cold. Auto or manual. Full blast or otherwise. Nothing. Same symptoms as 3 years ago.

Checked all the usual suspect fuses today. All look unmarred.

While one could suspect the resistor / regulator, which apparently is common (and replacing a blower motor after 3 years / 15K miles is not) 

but .. 

I read - and am told - that if it was the blower motor resistor / regulator that the fan *would* kick in if set to the highest setting. Reportedly at the highest setting it bypasses the resistor / regulator.

So ... my question is. Has anyone had a need to replace a blower motor resistor / regulator *without* the blower coming on at all? Or the fact that it will not come on at all, is that symptomatic of it being something other than the resistor / regulator?

TIA
