Coming home the other night I noticed the fan had stopped working. All the lights for the a/c and rear defrost still work and I could feel heat coming from the vents.
Anyone else come across this problem?
Does the whole dash need to come apart to look for the problem?

First check the fuse. If the fuse is blown, you likely have a short somewhere in the system. If the fuse is good, check the grounds. There are two grounds for the climate control in the Sportage. One on each side of the center-stack dash support structure. I am assuming you have the manual climate control? Or is it automatic? It could also be the relay, blower motor, or power mosfet, but the best place to start is checking fuses and grounds. Bad grounds are a big instigator of problems in northern climates where there is road salt and winter conditions.
