Blower Motors for Porsche Cayenne

Blower motors for the Porsche Cayenne are housed just behind the glove box and force air through the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, or HVAC, system. When the air temperature in the cabin of the Porsche Cayenne requires adjustment, the climate control unit engages the blower motor to push air through a manifold to vents that either open on the heater casing to draw heat from the engine coolant to the cabin, or the refrigerant cooled evaporator core to draw heat and humidity out of the air circulating to the cabin when the A/C is engaged.

What type of blower-motor is in the Porsche Cayenne?

The Porsche Cayenne features a magnetic-type centripetal blower motor, engineered for continuous use. The large cabin of the Porsche Cayenne requires considerable air circulation to maintain adequate climate control, which is known to cause significant wear to the blower motor. A replacement with features such as permanently lubricated, self-aligning bearings can provide dependable performance and an extended lifetime.

What are the factors that contribute to blower-motor failure?

Age is the most important factor in the failure of the blower motor in a Porsche. Worn-out pieces such as brittle fan blades can break and cause catastrophic damage by jamming the motor of the Cayenne. The amount of use can also be a factor. The large cabin of the Porsche Cayenne and luxury features such as dual-zone climate control demand considerable output and cause above-average wear on the motor. Debris in the HVAC box that obstructs the movement of the fan may destroy the blower motor regardless of mileage or age. Proper maintenance and cleaning of your vehicle is key to extending the longevity of any automotive part.

What are some symptoms of a failing blower motor?
  • The first symptom of blower motor issues in a Porsche vehicle is often a decrease in air flow from your HVAC system. Although the A/C and heater may still produce cold and hot air in the Cayenne, there will be a noticeable decrease in the air pressure at the vents even at high fan speeds.
  • Squeaking or grinding sounds that come from behind the dash on the passenger side is another symptom that can indicate a failing bearing in the motor. Rattling from the same area can indicate broken blades on the squirrel cage.
  • If the air circulating fan only works on the highest setting of the vehicle, the motor-blower control module is likely burnt due to high current demand.
