Hi, it would help getting help if you included the vehicle information, I see by your profile that you have a 2014 c4 grand picasso.
Does it have automatic climate control or not?
When you say "......but after driving it today I noticed they still work a tidy bit"...... could that just be forced airflow while driving?
Have you checked the appropriate fuse?.
I would have a look at the blower resister.

Go, to the Citroën section of this forum and search for "Picasso Blower stop working".

Yes car had automatic climate control and maybe it could be forced airflow and do you know where the resister is located and could you possibly show me a image of what I am looking for

Probably located under the dash somewhere near the blower. A search comes up with a few pictures of the resistor but you would need to provide more info on your car to see if any are like yours https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/bn_7024950960

Be aware if you buy a very cheap copy part they do not always work that well.

The C4 Picasso suffers from water ingress at the front due to blocked drains so you might also have a problem due to this if your carpets are wet.

It's not the only cars that do, Vauxhall are really prone. Best advice is to keep the scuttles clear, and keep the jet wash away from the area!

A very quick search of YouTube gets this,

Noticed after driving today if u change the heating from window to any other setting eg footwell or direct to cabin they is clicking behind the dashboard and I also checked for blockage but couldn't see anything untoward but read a few post about blocked ac pipe where would that be located

The more information the better, your last comment about 'clicking', sounds like the directional flap actuator gears. You need to see them, means removing some cabin plastic below the dash, and make sure they move when the corresponding dial/switch is used.
