If the cabin fan only activates at maximum speed despite adjusting the speed, the resistor (i.e., the controller) that regulates the fan motor's rotation speed is likely damaged. This is a common fault in many models from the French manufacturer, but it can be resolved quickly and quite economically (replacement cost is around £34). To replace the resistor located just behind the centre console, with a green connector attached to the fan motor, you do not need to disassemble any dashboard elements; simply access it from the passenger side, unscrew the fixing screws, and disconnect the connectors.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
