Video tutorial

In this video, you can see where the heating resistor is located in the Ford Fiesta and how to proceed if you need to replace it, a very simple and quick operation. As shown, it is located inside the junction between the centre tunnel and the dashboard and is accessible by removing the panel on the driver's side.

Once done, locate the white connector, disconnect it, and undo the two fixing screws with a Torx T20 spanner. At this point, you can insert the replacement part and reassemble everything by following the reverse procedure.
