Before you begin, sit in the front passenger seat of your Citroen Xsara Picasso. Start by removing the glove compartment by unscrewing the relevant bolts that secure it. Once you have removed the glove compartment, you will have access to the heating fan. Proceed to disconnect the connector of the heating fan. At this point, remove the cover of the fan, and you will reach the resistor, which you can remove, completing the disassembly.

To fit the new resistor and close everything up, simply repeat these steps in reverse, and the replacement will be complete.
