2024 Polestar 2 — blower works on some speeds but not others — second opinion before I spend money

TrackPilot512Community StarterMay 14, 20262024 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual MotorDetroit
2024 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor, about 36,000 miles. Cabin fan works normally on certain settings and then cuts out or changes speed unpredictably on others. Before replacing the blower motor, what should be checked in the resistor/controller circuit?

Intermittent stuff lies if you only catch it once. A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2024 Polestar 2 is losing coolant with no puddle. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. On “blower works on some speeds but not,” that was the fork that mattered for me. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. I refuse to clear codes until someone else sees them.

I wouldn't throw parts yet. Move a coil or plug on the 2024 Polestar 2 if it's cylinder-specific and see whether the code follows. Save the big job until that test fails. Do that first. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. Loaded-suspension checks on the 2024 Polestar 2 catch play that a wheels-hanging inspection misses. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. That's the whole play. Make the next action something you can finish this week. Cold start is when I can actually reproduce it.

If it were in my driveway, if a shop can't duplicate it on the 2024 Polestar 2, bring a video plus freeze-frame data, not just a story. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. Do that first. I'd rather be boring and correct. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Ask what changed right before it started. Two 2024 Polestar 2s can feel identical and have different causes, so measure before you copy someone else's repair. Save the big job until that test fails. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.
