Blowers not blowing

Post by 406saloon »

Hey all, yet another problem with the 406! Yesterday the heaters just stopped blowing. :( Heat still gets through but its just not blowing. I checked the fuses in the passenger footwell and found none blown, however the fuse for the heating/ventilation was a 15amp one when it should be 10amp according to my haynes. Anyone have any idea what else i can check?
Its a 1997 1.9TD 406 Saloon.

Can you actually hear the fan operating? It lives up under the dash in the passenger footwell.
