So my air blower failed and bought a new one. Swapped them out tonight but no air coming into the car. It is working though.

One thing I spotted between new and old is the fan blade direction.

Would that be the cause or something else? I bought it as advertised for a RHD.

I have no idea what a "Zahir a Mkiii" blower is, so this is generic information on fans.

Fans can be pushers or pullers and can obviously rotate in either direction also.

A pusher won't work very well as a puller even if the direction is reversed and vice versa.

You need to check the blades out to see which is which and also look closely on the side cowling as there may well be a directional arrow showing fan direction.

Zafira C at a guess?

Yes, sorry, Zafira Tourer. I think it's also called Zafira C or MkIII.

You may need to reverse the polarity

I think you've been given the wrong item James, you should not have to be changing the polarity!
