Did you discover the issue?
I have the same on 2011 Qashqai N-Tec. the fan speed indicator lights light up (lights increase/decrease when adjusting the fan dial) but no fan.
I can here the AC compressor pump clutch kicking in and out so everything seems okay with the heating dash panel, just no fan?
I would appreciate some feedback if you've managed to sort the issue.

There are two electronic components controlling this motor and one of them is a micro computer (Auto Amp). The other is a power transistor (FET) that directly handles the power to control the motor. That makes testing for most people too difficult, plus none of the diagrams are accurate. It appears that there are two 15A fuses feeding the motor..possibly F15 and F16?

The fan motor uses brushes.
