I hope so, or another problem is lurking, but that would be negative.

Didn't want to start a new thread, posting this here.

I've tried:
A new FSR
Checked FSR wire
Checked fuses 12, 25 , 61 and 64
Manually spinning the fan
Manually spinning the fan with the A/C on
Checked for faults with All Comms and there are no faults recorded.

All have failed Big Cry

For the last month of it working, there was the dreaded squeaking at the slowest speed..

so ... is there anything else to try ? Confused Dash out job is a no-go. The funds don't exist Laughing

Tried fuse 34 to no avail

The FSR gets warm when the fan switch is on which I'd imagine it should do by design. Meaning the problem is elsewhere Crying or Very sad

What I would do is test the motor as follows.
Undo the connector plug from the FSR and very carefully with a paperclip or similar bridge the Yellow/Green cable connection on the plug with the Black/Green cable connection on the plug.
This should make the blower fan run at full speed. You don't need the ignition on.
The Yellow/Green is a direct feed from the fuse and the Black/Green is a direct feed to the motor by-passing the FSR.]
Just to make doubly sure you should also connect the Red/Green in the plug to earth at at the same time, I'm not absolutely certain the earth to the blower motor is still connected when the plug is pulled from the FSR. If the blower doesn't run I'm afraid it points to your blower fan motor being faulty.
Unfortunately blower motors can give up eventually usually caused by intake damp air causing corrosion. They appear to be impossible to lubricate to prolong their life.
I've just replaced one on my wifes 3 year old car for that very reason, fortunately VW install that particular fan so that it can be replaced in about 30seconds.
Lets know how you get on

No luck Censored

I'll try a disconnect / reconnect of the battery on Saturday, Cheeks squeezed on the reconnect part for extra luck Laughing

Hopefully cleaning the battery terminals and connector will have some results..

thanks for the help! Thumbs Up
