hi all
my blower is not working,fuses are ok,is this likely to be the final stage resistor aka the hedgehog? E53 X5 2002,is it located drivers side above the footwell?
The TIS is saying it could be the fan limit switch is this the same part?
thanks

Most heater fan issues are the proverbial hedgehog. I'd wager replacement will solve your problems

I now have a working blower after replacing the hedgehog,bloody nuisance without a fan at this time of year with the screen misting up

Well done Strummer. They're quit fiddly to get to so I hear
