How to replace the fan resistor of the DS3

Model: Citroen Ds3 MK 1 - Years 2010-2019
Part: Blower motor

In this video, we see how to replace the blower resistor of a Citroen DS3: the problem is that the fan only works at maximum speed, while at intermediate speeds the fan does not work. To access the fan, we need to remove the partition located in the footwell on the left side; we remove the screw on one side and expose all the components on this side. The resistor is a piece composed of a plastic base and an exposed resistor, which can easily be found online: for example on Amazon with the code B0DL5GF7XV at a price of 30.00 euros, with free delivery. We remove the electrical connector and replace it with the new one; we test the functionality and now we put the partition back in place.
