How Much Does a Heater Blower Motor Cost?
No air from the vents at any speed usually means the blower motor or its resistor. A Cranbourne West specialist explains.
What drives the cost
Blower cost splits two ways: the resistor/control module (the common cause when only some fan speeds work — usually a cheap fix) versus the motor itself (no air at any speed, or squealing/rumbling bearings). Access under the dash varies from easy to awkward.
Only-highest-speed-works is the textbook failed resistor.
What the job involves
We diagnose motor vs resistor vs switch before replacing anything, fit the quality part, and confirm every fan speed works with good airflow.

How Much Does a Heater Blower Motor Cost? — FAQ
If it’s the resistor (some speeds dead) it’s usually cheap; the motor itself costs more and varies with access. We diagnose first.
A failed blower resistor — high speed bypasses it, which is the giveaway.
Worn motor bearings — replace it before it quits, usually in summer when you need it.
We test the motor, resistor/module and switch in sequence — and only replace what failed.
