Rear row blower in R-Class
Hi, forum!
It seems like my rear blower / fan in the second row (maybe the same blower supports the third row as well?) seems dead. If I manually press the key to up the fan on the second row climate control panel I don't hear / feel anything coming out of the vents (just a tiny bit which I assume come from the first row but doesn't get any "proper transport" since the blower isn't working).
I've checked the fuse (B 10 (10 amps)) and visual inspection (no DMM used) looks all right and the controls on the second row lights up and "communicates" with the main controls on the first row when going from "Auto" mode for example.
Anybody who knows about these blowers (same in ML and GL I guess?)?
When using the rest heat function my windows fog up easily and especially in the back rows so maybe that is a result of this or at least it will help out to clear if the blower was working?
Is it easy to access, inspect, change, DYI?
Any ideas/input/help appreciated and if not, have a nice weekend!

The blower for the third row is in the side compartment in the trunk (I think on the driver's side but don't remember 100%). There's a separate auxiliary blower for the second row center console vents built into the front center console. I had to replace my third row blower when I first got the car since there was no air coming out of the third row vents.
