Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Blower motor

In this video, you will learn how to remove the fan resistor in the cabin of a Ford Fiesta. The fan resistor is located at the bottom right of the glove compartment. Use a plastic lever to detach the trim at the lower right of the centre tunnel; get a screwdriver and remove the trim pieces, then extract the worn resistor. Insert a new resistor, ensuring it connects properly to the car's power terminal. Refit the filter box cover and tighten the screws. Check the correct installation of the previously mounted parts.
