As shown in this tutorial, replacing the heating resistor in a Fiat Punto is a very simple and quick operation. Before doing this, ensure that the key is not inserted to work safely.

First, position yourself in the passenger seat, then go underneath the glove compartment and locate the resistor, which is situated right next to the fan. Next, unscrew the two fixing bolts using a 5.5mm socket, remove the resistor from its housing, and disconnect the power connector.

To fit the replacement, simply follow the reverse procedure.
