Fan stopped working

[maxxxout]

My Trax's fan just suddenly stopped working. I checked the blower motor resistor and it looks okay, at least to me. Though this connector that plugs into the resistor seem a little burnt, cleaned it but still no luck. what could've happened here? Appreciate any thoughts you might have!

A burnt connector often tells the tale of an overheating issue or poor contact. Even if it looks clean, the connection might be toast and unable to carry the current properly. I suggest testing the voltage at the connector and inspecting the wiring for hidden damage. Did you notice any warning signs like intermittent fan operation before it died?

Fuse most probably. Did you happen to remove cabin air filter and spin the motor to check if it was free?

Both comments from @sKelet°r_smellet°r and @ezypzy24 are good and to add to those I'd say to replace the resistor, which could cause the connector to melt

Thanks for this tip. happened to mine too.

Glad I could help! Did you find any hidden damage when you checked yours, or was it just a straight-up burnt connection?
