Heater Not Blowing

[Furbs]

Hi all,

My heater seems to have stopped working on my 1998 BMW E36 316i, one day it was working perfectly fine, the next it just no longer blows out any air, and i'm not talking a little air, i'm talking nothing, I have the digital dual climate control, and when I turn the fans on, I can hear the motor clicking on, but nothing happens. Any idea's

Hi James, welcome along.

I think someone on here has that issue too, not sure if its been resolved yet.

Search the forum and take a look, you might find some info there.
