To remove the cabin fan resistor, let's see how to do it from inside the dashboard. Open the glove compartment and detach it from inside the dashboard (lower it down), then unscrew the securing screws of the covering plastics to access the resistor.

Pull the fan resistor out from inside the dashboard as shown in the video. Insert the new part and reassemble all the components of the glove compartment as you disassembled them earlier.

Turn on the ignition and test the air fan.
