Replacement of the air conditioning control resistor of the Mercedes A-Class.

Model: Mercedes Classe A W169 - Years 2004-2012
Part: A/C controls

If the air conditioning fan of the Mercedes Classe A stops working at the first three speeds and only works at the last one, the problem is attributed to the control resistor. To replace it, position yourself in the front passenger seat, remove the partition under the glove compartment so that you can remove the end part of the central tunnel under the dashboard. In the area we will uncover, right next to the fire shield, we will find the resistor. Remove it, disconnect the connector, and replace it with a new one. Insert it in its place and before reassembling the panels, check the correct operation of the fan.
