Do you mean the fan(s) that blow air into the cabin?

If so, this works totally independently of the AC as it's used for heating
- or just fresh air. If it's not running at all, it's likely the final
stage resistor burnt out, and any dealer should have got this immediately
as it's a *very* common fault on an E39. Costs about 50 quid for the part
and is DIY possible, although slightly fiddly.

I have two, but our public schools are apparently better than the ones this
person attended. I am truly confised by his (or her) post.
