The female pins on that connector can loose tension and connection over time. So when the connector is out clean the pins and use some contact paste. On my own X5 the problem was poor contact on that activation line from IHKA to final stage. As this is only low amp signal line there were no signs of over heating despite the poor contact stopping the motor.

Just a quick thanks from me on this old thread. My blower had stopped working and I wasn’t sure how to test the FSR vs the fan, and followed the above. Thankfully it’s the FSR, so no dash out!
