Reasons for the Blower Not Working in Magotan
2 Answers
There are several reasons why the blower in the Volkswagen Magotan may not be working, including prolonged use of the blower and insufficient power supply. The specific details are as follows: Prolonged Use of the Blower: After extended use, excessive dust accumulation can increase the friction coefficient between the rotor and bearings, causing the rotor to become obstructed or even jammed, leading to overheating and damage of the coil. Insufficient Power Supply to the Blower: This could be due to a lack of 220V AC input or a damaged coil. To diagnose, carefully measure both ends of the power cord with a test pen while the power is on. If one end lights up and the other doesn't, it indicates that the power input is normal but the blower coil is damaged. If both ends light up or neither lights up, it suggests an issue with the power input line.
My Magotan has been running for over five years, and I've personally experienced the blower not working several times. Common causes include blown fuses, blower motor failure, relay issues, short circuits, or damaged air conditioning control switches. The fuse is the easiest to check, located in the fuse box on the left side of the steering wheel—just refer to the manual for the number and replace it if blown. A faulty blower motor is usually due to worn carbon brushes or seized bearings, often starting with strange noises before gradually stopping. The relay is nearby; if the clicking sound disappears, suspect it. Wiring issues are more noticeable in winter, with oxidized or loose connections causing power loss. A malfunctioning control switch button can also cause it to stop working. Don't ignore this issue—driving without airflow can lead to dangerous fogging on the windshield. I recommend paying attention to the fan system during regular maintenance; simple checks can save you a lot of money.
