Video tutorial

This video tutorial demonstrates how to replace the cabin fan resistor in a Ford Fiesta. If the cabin fan is not working as it should, try replacing the resistor.

To do this, remove the glove compartment by opening it and pressing the sides inward to release it; it will then drop down. You will now see the fuses; locate the resistor, which is situated at the base of the duct where the air passes to cool it. Unscrew the two Torx screws (the connector and resistor will come out together); gently pull out the connector, insert the new connector fully, and then carefully insert the resistor into its housing, tightening the two Torx screws.

Refit the glove compartment.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
