    Okay so my Hybrid battery went out back in August right before it went out I started having issues with my blower fan it would not work at some points and then work at others after replacing the battery it worked for about a week and then went back to being intermittent now it hardly works at all I'm going to die it's very very little. I checked the fuses that I could decipher but really I'm at a complete loss I'm really not a car guy

    Try changing the blower fan controller, it's where the fan plugs into

    or change the blower fan itself. Remove the cabin air filter, reach in and try to spin the fan while it is powered on.

    If the fan will spin up, then the fan is the problem. If it does not spin up, perhaps the blower motor control is the problem.

    Mine did the same thing but would not spin up when spun by hand.
    Bought new one OEM
