AC/Heater not blowing

My 540 AC/Heater fan just stopped blowing. Anybody encountered this before or have an idea what it could be (apart from a dead rat?).

Thanks in advance for the anticipated "jabs" and "real help" :fencelook:

Where could that be located?

Check your fuses . Google for help on "e39 final stage resistor ( hedgehog ) " ....:rollsmile:
Your final stage resistor will take a bit of work to replace ....

It's a real pain to replace. Behind the centre console
