In this video, 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, the resistor is located right on the cabin fan, which is positioned on the passenger side, at the junction between the dashboard and the centre tunnel.

Before disassembling it, ensure the key is not inserted, then remove the cover, disconnect the power connector, and unscrew the two fixing bolts with a Torx T20 spanner. To fit the replacement, simply follow the reverse procedure.
