Will depend if you have a 2 speed or earlier 3 speed fan -

go to the front of the car - look through the grill to the right and see if on front of the fan to see if you have silver resistor (6cm's long) - this will indicate a 2 speed fan and if the silver resistor has failed you need to replace it with an upgraded Gold resistor (10-15 euros) - to confirm - do this

Start from cold. Put air con to "ECON" and turn on front screen demist. Nip round the front and have a look through the grille to see if the fan is permanently turning. If not it's probably time for a new upgraded gold resistor.

If no resistor on your fan then it is likely to be an earlier 3 speed fan and it is probably a failure of the brushes - 20 euro fix
