The same thing happen to me but I only had my 03 for three days. I checked my fuses they where fine. I replaced the blower fan resistor and that took care of it. Found a video on YouTube how t replace it. However after looking at the video and doing the job I don't think you need to remove the clove box. I got the part at napa for $69.

OK, when I first noticed the front fans stopped working, but the display stays on and can move about, I tried the rear seat heater and while it did blow, it was ambient temp air at best. I've not tested the rear since the first day the blower stopped.
Now I replaced my FSR tonight wit a factory valeo part and no blower fan still and now the rear fan is not working either now. I can still hear the vents opening/closing as I play with those buttons so I know there is some life in my HVAC controls, but I'm baffled as to why the blower stopped. Can I test the blower motor somehow without ripping the dash apart? damn, I think I need a trip to the indie  how many hundreds now?

So according to my mech, he showed me how even though I replaced the FSR on my X, it was not the problem. He hooked up his computer and showed me how if you adjust the speed of the fans, the power changes on the computer screen he had hooked up to the OBD II and therefore ruled out anything but the blower motor finally blew. SHITTY as ithe part is so cheap compared to the install charges.
So anything thing else I should change out while my entire dash is apart? Heater core? o-rings... other parts?

the blower motor is not hard to change out, just very time consuming. my mechs said its about an 8-10 hour job to remove entire dash/steering wheel.... to access the blower. I did this on my 850 last year in summer but I did not have a place/opportunity to do it myself a month or so ago, so I Was at the mercy of a mech and just paid the bill. Such is life.
Fan works perfect now

Thanks for the response, with the squirrel cage making noises, I would assume it would be the motor, is that a safe assumption?

Trader, my blower stopped working instantly one morning. I didn't check to jump power past fsr or anything. Just brought to mech (after I replaced my fsr) and the software/computer showed me there was power getting TO the fans, just no motion from the fans
