the blower motor on my 2000 Disc II is inop. there is no power at the motor,
no power either side of the 30amp fuse in the panel. all the control functions at the heater control panel work including the fan speed control switch.
any ideas

Try jumping the positive wire (brown with red stripe) from the blower motor to the positive on 12v jack near the Hi/Lo gear shifter. Mine does the same thing and that's how i fixed it.

Did this today and it worked like a charm. Simple and effective. Thanks!:drink1:

By "the 12V jack near the Hi/Lo gear shifter" I assume you mean the wiring behind the cigar lighter?

Yes, the positive to the cigar/ 12v power outlet.

Not so fast!

Update; For some reason my alarm would not activate after doing this mod and after I let the Disco sit for 2 days the battery was dead. Today I charged the battery and after making sure my alternator was ok (14.5V @ idle), I turned it off and again my alarm would not set. So I disconnect the wire from the cigarette lighter to blower motor and everything is back to normal. I'll let it sit and see what happens in the morning. Also I think my battery is on its way out. If any one else did or does this mod and has any issues please post here.

Ok. I disconnected the jumper wire and not only does it no longer drain my battery but my blower motor is working again. Man I love my rover.

I know this is an old post but I tried the jumper and my fan comes on..MY question is what is being jumped out? I much rather fix it right than half=== anything esp on my mode of transportation.
Thanks

The feed from the interior fusebox is missing and that's what this bodge is replicating
