How to Remove the Cabin Air Resistor from a Fiat Punto

Model: Fiat Idea MK 1 - Years 2003-2016
Part: Heater control valve

Before you begin, sit in the front passenger seat of your Fiat Punto. The resistor is located beneath the glove compartment. Start by unscrewing the screws that secure the resistor to its housing. This will free the resistor. Next, remove the bulb from its housing, then disconnect the electrical connector, and you will have successfully completed the removal. To install the new resistor, simply follow these steps in reverse, and you will have finished the replacement.
