Please describe HOW a "failing battery" can (1) Start engine, and (2) cause Blower Motor NOT to operate when engine is running??

AFAIK, the Primary Purpose of the Battery is to Power the Starter to Start the Engine. I can't recall EVER seeing a case (in 60+ years of auto maintenance/repair ;-) where a battery that started an engine prevented operation of an accessory such as Blower Motor with engine running.

I am NOT attacking YOU. I AM attacking the "Myth" that the Battery is always the "First Suspect" when ANY type of electrical issue arises. That is almost always accompanied by the myth that BMW electrical systems/ batteries are somehow "DIFFERENT" from those used in other Makes.
