Repost from Fuse thread (sorry)

My Front Blower has stopped working on my 2012 RR 4.4. The rear blower works fine.
All the switch lights work ok, all other buttons work ok, but just no Front Fan in any combination of controls for Heat or AC.

I decided to follow the FSR route and replaced it today, but still no joy on the front fan.

I have tested Fuse 21 in the rear cubby and it’s fine.

I have also done the full battery off reset.

I still have the panels off for the FSR, so have turned the driver side fan blades with my finger tips. They turn, but it feels heavier than I thought it would be however I’m not sure what normal is though.

Any ideas how to test and diagnose further ?

UPDATE
With the engine running but fan switched off, I deceived to put my hand deep in by the FSR to reach the fan blades again. I started to move them and then switched the blower on full. Hey Presto. It’s run up to full speed, so perhaps the issue is running resistance on the fan.

Any suggestions on what to do now ?

It sounds like the fan is on the way out.

The same thing happened to me and several others on here, so your best bet is to do a search.

The fan's not expensive to buy, but the amount of work to replace it is sigificant.
