Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Blower motor

This short video shows you how to remove and replace the air conditioning fan resistor in a Citroen C3 (the procedure is similar for many other makes and models of cars). First, remove and extract the glove compartment. Once done, you can unscrew the two screws securing the resistor, disconnect the two connectors, and extract the faulty resistor. To install the new air conditioning fan resistor, insert the new part into the designated compartment, connect the two green connectors, and before screwing in the two screws, test that the new part works correctly.
