Technical Heater blowers stopped working

[Priorylane47]

Hi all . Newbie here . I’ve tried to search the threads but can’t find another similar issue . We had been getting a similar battery drain like a few others but got a new battery the other day so time will tell if it’s solved or not . My current issue is the blower has now stopped working . No reverse sensors either . No lights or any sign of life. Trying to find the correct fuse for it as it says the green 40 in engine bay . Can’t see any signs of blown fuses . Anyone had any similar issues or a known resolve ? Tia . Gee .

Hi and welcome .:wave:

Have you looked at the Interior fuseboard..?
it will be 20A or above for a fan motor

Cannot quote specifics for a 500x

Your post information appears to suggest an electrical grounding issue. To loose multiple circuits is either localised grounding points OR "common" connection points.

I doubt my post will 100% help but may give a little guidance.

Update …. Found the fault . It was the 7.5 fuse behind he glove box . Had originally took it out and checked in light and seemed in tact . Tried all others .. for some reason went back to … then thought the fuse wire seemed thinner than others .. got a magnifying glass to it …. It almost looks intact but very very thin . New fuse in and hey presto .. heaters and rear sensors back . Ty for the possible solutions

I suprised its 7.5 A

Might be why it popped..??

Glad you found something to restore function though

Without knowing the exact fuse number it is difficult to say. The fuse may have been for control circuits as opposed to main motor power feed.

Indeed

Experience tells me that unfortunately
'fuses dont just blow'..

But time will tell

It could have been just a poorly made fuse, if it looked a bit skinny.. Hopefully the new fuse will sort it permanently.
