Hi.
No idea what age..or spec we are talking here.

Have you had the fan motor out and spun it?

Not got a choked pollen filter?


The powered 'climate' system has had issues with the spindles shearing..

So the flaps remain SHUT.. despite the controls moving to open them.

Sorry! All new to this but at a complete loss..
2010 fiat ducato Lwb
New motor and new resistor
Everything works perfectly - and fans blows when taken out and tested but just doesn’t blow the air into the cab from anywhere..
I can’t find any faults as such. All flaps seem to be working as they should do.

Did this creep up..
Or just happen overnight?

Some threads in car sections
talk of flat out fan airflow
driving the control flap open..

Worth a try..

For clarity.. is this twisty knobs ..non aircon?

Or is it automated climate system?

Yes Twisty knobs - non air con...
Bought the van - worked only on number 3 fan- so replaced motor and resistor pack- not blown air into cab since.
It’s now in bits and really don’t want to put back together until I sort it but it’s baffling. Not blockages. Fan blowing in right direction and all flaps appearing to be working

As you said.. should be simple.

I had a 1990 fiat car where the heater valve and cold air in flap were linked.

The control plastic sheared.. so I cobbled the flap mech back together.. and left the water tap on HOT.

Are you 100% sure all flaps are mobile.. TBH thats the only thing I can imagine.. as you assurd us the fan is now running as before..

I assume you had air at time of purchase..
Only on 3 not a normal failure.. but it happens..
