To repair the cabin air circulation fan, it needs to be removed from its housing: it is located behind the centre console. To remove it, it is suggested to access from the passenger side, starting by removing the soundproofing cover located just below the glove compartment.

Also remove the side cover of the tunnel to gain access: then disconnect the connectors and remove it to place it on a workbench; unscrew the retaining screw of the cover and remove it to reach the resistor and replace it (this is a spare part easily available in the aftermarket).

Reassemble everything and install it back in the vehicle.
