In this video, learn how to remove the fan resistor on the Renault Twingo: You need to dismantle the entire dashboard: remove the drawer that provides access to the fuses; then remove the three screws holding the dashboard in place at the top. Now remove the lower part of the steering column cover; turn the steering wheel fully to access the upper cover, and remove that as well.

Remove the left part of the steering wheel, a small shield, then the right part starting from the ashtray, followed by the plate supporting it, secured by 4 screws at the bottom and 2 at the top above the air conditioning buttons; once removed, the entire trim will come off. Disconnect the plugs and the two screws holding the part with the knobs; there are also electrical plugs to disconnect here.

Finish removing the dashboard from the lower part. There are screws at the back of the knobs and at the bottom, two of which need to be removed mechanically, then at the top, where you previously removed the cover.

Now the dashboard is free and can be moved aside. On the passenger side, you will find the resistor of interest: it is screwed right under the dashboard.

Unscrew it, then disconnect the electrical connectors it is attached to, and finally remove it for replacement.

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.
