Faulty blower

Tried to fix my blower today. Swapped the switch, but no joy. Bridged the wires on the blower connnector block, still no luck. All my fuses are ok, so where do I look next?

Do you have power at the fan?  If if you have power the fan is duff or seized.  You can get access to the fan motor terminals under the white basket (three screws).  It is also possible to remove the fan and motor without taking the whole heater out (I've done it) - you do need to remove the wiper mech tho'.

Unplug the fan and then run a couple of wires straight from the battery to the fan to get it moving, get some WD40 in there if it hasn't moved in a while.

I need to get my blower woring too! It works on position 1 & 2 but as soon as you turn to position 3 it cuts out. Does this mean it's knackered?!!
