Hi Guys, my blower motor is not working. I recall a few weeks ago i turned the switch on and after 3-4 mins it started to work. Strange i thought.. now for the last week not working at all.

WHAT I HAVE DONE:

I checked all the fuses and they seem ok (The one on the right side of the steering)

I assumed probably blower motor or loose connection, so purchased a new one with same fitment from eurocarpats with 30% discount so around £75. I took the glove compartment apart and the 2 sockets connected to it  and also the 2 wire plug going to the motor. Installed new motor and not working. 

I then checked t he 12v supply with the fan on full and no supply going to the motor. 

When i switch the fan switch on i think ican hear the relay going clinck and when i  turn off it clicks as well. So now i am  stuck. Any ideas..?

 

ALSO now the Airbag light is permanently on. not sure what could have triggered that as i did plug both the cabled into the glove compartment.

 

Lastly washer pump not working. i am thinking to repalce that and hope all of this is not related.

 

Any thoughts or ideas chaps?

 

Thanks 

Fixed it in the end. 

 

If anyone has this issue: 1) Blower motor nor working AND Front windscreen washer not working, then the issue is the X (CROSS) RELAY number 86. This is a cube like relay that is found UNDER the right side of the steering dashboard.  You need to take the dashboard off and then you will see 2 Cross Relays labelled 86. swap them over and your blower and washer will work. Genuine replacements are about £15 but secondhand ones are like £7.

Glad you got two of the problems fixed. How about the airbag light?

well.. that was another story... none of the people told me this BUT in checking and trying to falsely fix the blower motor i tripped the airbag device. This has to be reset via code/OBD/VAGcom. i don't have one so may have to pay. 

 

What people should told us all is how to change/fix/inspect the blower motor without tripping the airbag. There is away . i cannot recall, i think it may be by deactivating it OR not turning the ignition on at some point, i have come across it but cannot recall what it was i should have done prior.

Don't get me wrong, fixing the X relay and finding the solution took best part of a month and multiple searches- Until then i ordered new motor, kept on checking fuses, kept on checking wiring and also voltage across multiple wires!  . i found out by accident by looking at an Australian guy with similar problem on his Skoda octavia..! I thought i had 2 issues (blower and water pump) but actually all is find but relay dead!
