How do you change heater blower motor on vauxhall frontera?
Heater blower is underneath dashboard on the left side of the glovebox in passenger footwell - 4 screws secure blower motor - undo these & pull blower assembley down, then unplug wiring. My blower simply seized up - 2 screws hold motor assembly into cover (1 screw is only seen when the block on the side of cover is prised off) Assembly can be prised away from cover & bronze bearings then cleaned & re-greased & brushes checked. Armature was a bit rough so re-cleaned carefully using drill to turn & some decent sandpaper to re-finish & slots cleaned with Stanley knife blade. There is also a resistor pack behind the glovebox which needed re-soldering. (motor seized - resistor pack heated up & melted the solder) Two screws on hinges at bottom of glovebox to undo then remove glovebox - resistor pack has two screws to undo then pull out & unplug 5 pin plug. Resistor pack says on it "do not repair" ..... I pulled mine apart - 4 crimped ends to un-crimp using small flat screwdriver - middle connector on mine had let go and had to be re-soldered back on. A metal plate is used to retain resistor pack assembly into the plastic heating vent - this shouldn't travel too far & I used a small piece of duck tape to hold this plate ready for re-fitting.

1 check relay - fuse output, pull fuse 7, start engine test for voltage at fuse. OK then step "2"
2 The fuse feeds the motor, pull the connection wire and check for voltage, engine running because the power comes from the alternator. OK then step "3"
3 The output of the motor goes into the resistor pack, 5 cables in plug. pull it and test each output (4 of) cable goes to ground via the speed switch. OK?
Your resistor pack is open circuit, it can be repaired, it will say not to, but that is your choice.

As above. Perfect explanation. I spent days wondering why no power. And didn't think the engine needed to run. Duh!
