Hello fellow Miniacs!

My beloved Little Blue (Indi Blue Cooper) has developed a problem. The A/C blower fan for the Automatic Climate Control system has stopped working. It was working fine yesterday and other than the fan not working I haven't noticed any changes. I did scrounge around and find the fuse...the only fan fuse I could find was in the bonnet fuse block, a 30A fuse that looked fine. There also is, apparently, a fan relay that may be the problem. The relay is also in the bonnet fuse block. The footwell fuse block did not seem to have any fan fuses or relays. Since MINI seems to be holding on to the service manuals that was the extent of my sleuthing.

Just wondering if...1) Anybody has had a similar problem or 2) Anybody has any diagnostic suggestions.

Many Thanks,
Q & Little Blue

Take it to the dealer, that's the best suggestion.

Similar problem two weeks ago. Check out the "blower" thread in "beneath the Bonnet"
