In this useful video guide, you will see the entire procedure to remove the cabin fan from a first-generation Seat Leon. The fan is located behind the passenger side glove box, so to access it, you need to remove the glove box by unscrewing the screws that hold it in place and disconnecting the two connectors as shown in the video.

Next, remove the fan power cable and then the lower fan cover by unscrewing its two screws.

Once this is done, you can remove the old cabin fan and replace it with a new one by following the reverse procedure.
