Video tutorial

In this video, we see how the cabin fan only works on the 2nd speed. To start, disconnect the negative battery cable, open the glove compartment, and under the dashboard, in the glove compartment area, there are two holes that secure the side curtain airbag.

You need to unscrew them. From underneath, gently push the airbag upwards until you hear a click.

Once released, carefully remove it. Disconnect the airbag's electrical connector and place it in a safe location. Still from the passenger side, locate the electrical connector of the fan motor and disconnect it. Move to the driver's side and carefully remove the plastic cover above the instrument cluster.

Underneath, you will find cross-head screws that will allow you to remove the instrument cluster. Also, from the driver's side, remove the other side cover of the dashboard.

Now you can see the resistor, connected to wiring with a red and a black wire. Disconnect the connectors and remove the components.

Install the new resistor that you will find on eBay with code 174679046280 at a price of £133.23 + £7.95 for delivery. At this point, reassemble everything following the exact reverse steps, ensuring that the connectors are properly inserted and that the airbag is securely fixed.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
