Blower Motor quit

[wefixscratchedglass]

OK, it's getting hot here in Florida once again. And my blower motor just quit. Here's what I checked. I swapped the Blower Motor Resistor from my other working sprinter. No help. I didn't think would anyway, as it wasn't the usual full speed and off. I checked the fuses and could not find a bad one. I pulled the motor and hot tested it and it spun just fine. History: The van is a 2005 with 267,000 miles. The dash panel switch cluster was changed about 100k ago due to the usual solder point failure. What is the likely issue or where should I check next?

Thanks,

Check for power at the motor connector. Does the fan run when you hit the rest button (engine off)?

I will try that tomorrow.

On my 2005, the cabin fan fuse is #21 on the *under steering column* panel (i.e. Fuse Block 1).

There have been members who weren't aware of that panel...

mine did the same thing yesterday, unplugged the resistor, fuses, re plugged, and wiggled the temp dial a good few times..came back on!!..the temp dials do get funny, I had a hvac unit, non working, took it out , sprayed the pot with wd40 wiggled back and forth a good few times and it came back to life..just a thought/coincidence mine went same time as yours!
