If it's anything like the 1.9tdi model, it's behind the glovebox.
You'll need to remove the lower panel - this is how you gain access to the cabin air, paper filter (Refer to Haynes manual to find this).
Take that out and look inside - you will see the blower resistor is attached by one screw, however, it is a pain to access. It looks like a heat-sink.
After cutting my hand to shreads, I got the drill out and made a hole to gain access to the screw.
After removing the screw, push from above (after you remove the glove box and white pollen filter sheet) there's a few cable-ties to cut.
Disconnect the socket that is connected to the resistor and push it into the air box - getting the unit out via the air filter access point is a pain - I broke mine a little, there's just not enough space - It's nothing a little superglue cannot fix.
A new unit costs about £40 - I am yet to get a new unit and to put it back together, but now I have more room to get my hand in, it will be much easier. I can only assume the car was built around the unit and the person who designed this is a sadist.
To do this without breaking the plastic involves taking the entire dashboard out, so this is a botch fix, but will save me a £500 cost via the main dealer.
Expect your airbag lights to come on these will need to be reset by disconnecting the battery for over half an hour.
Good luck.

Where is Renault laguna 1998 heater resistor?
Open the glove box and disconnect the glove box light. Take out the glove box. (There are 7 "Star" screws holding it in - 4 in the roof and 3 in the bottom under the edge of the "carpet" on the floor of the glove box). Once you have taken the glovebox out you should see the resistor. It has a metal plate covering 3 "springs" and there are two electric sockets plugged into it. Also there are two thick wires (one black and one red) going from the resistor to the blower motor. This can be unplugged from the heater blower motor.
Where is the heater blower resistor located in a 1995 GMC Yukon?
You will notice a plate on top of the entire housing with wires running to it . It's located below the pullout ashtray and to the right. It has a grey sensor just to the right of it. There is a screw to remove the plate first and then two screws to remove the resistor.Trust me it's there I just changed mine.
My vectras heater fan only works on full its a 52 plate?
The blower motor speed resister may be burned out.
Where is the blower motor resistor on a Chevy Blazer S10?
Passenger side, on the firewall, there's a large plastic housing for the heater fan assembly.. there are a couple of small screws (3, if I remember right) holding a small (roughly 3" square" plate on top of that housing.. the resistor is under that plate. It's somewhat towards the center of the engine bay, and the back screw is a pain to get out, you'll want a ratcheting wrench or a swivel adapter for the socket wrench.
How do you replace a blower motor resistor ina 2003 cheverolet Monte Carlo ls?
:The resistor is quite difficult to remove since it is butt-up againt the firewall. A 5.5mm univeral socket is needed. You may also need to cut away some of the firewall insulation. Laying on your back in an odd position isalso required.- TechJK -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The blower motor resistor is mounted next to or behind the blower motor. The blower motor is located under the passenger�s side of the dash panel, attached to the bottom of the intake unit.Q: Is the resistor a rectangular metal plate held in the duct by two screws, just to the left of the blower, or is this something else?Yes it is that metal plate, Easy way to check it is by using multi-meter and making sure everything is continuous.. or all the connections are continuous.Addtional : On my 1995 Nissan Maxima the blower resistor is underneath the glovebox. (You do NOT have to remove the glovebox!) The are 2 screws holding it on. It's not a metal plate on mine, but a approx 3 inch long and 3/4 inch wide plastic connector with 4 wide connectors inside. It is held on by 2 screws, each going through a double hole plastic screw plate. When you remove it, you'll see it is a metal plate that extends about 1.5 inches inside the blower box. The part costs between $29 and $39 dollars at autopart stores and should only take about 2 minutes to replace. All you do is remove the 2 screws, unplug the bad resistor, plug in the new one and refasten the 2 screws.
No ac or heat air coming through the vents on Mazda mx6?
Resistor assembly is burned out (broken). it is located under the glove box. Its an electrical plug. buy another one or solder the plates inside it. to do that, u can break the plastic case, solder the broken plate, the super glue the case. If the problem occurs again. That is, the resistor assembly breaks again. Then you need to also change or recondition the BLOWER Fan. The blower is what the resistor assembly connects to, and it located under the passenger side glove box also. Over time the bearings in the blower get worn off, and it get harder to for the blower to turn and this causes the resistor assembly to burn out (break down).
How do replace the blower motor on a 2002 Kia Sportage?
You will need to locate a few wires that are located on a small plate between the heater and air system of a 2002 Kia Sportage. The resister pack rests there and can be removed and replaced to fix the blower.
Why might blower fan quit on 88 astro van It had been running on high only then got intermittent A tap on the motor would sometime start it Reads 12vdc at lead and ground at all speeds Runs sometimes?
I think the problem is with the heater motor resistor pack which you will find located near the fan motor. Open the hood and look to the left side corner of the fire wall. I have a 95 Astro and my resistor pack is located on top of the heater blower housing. I have changed many of these resisters on different makes and have found them to have their resistors rusted. The resistors are made of wire and they rtust and burn out. Find the small plug that goes to the resistors and you will find a a plate which has two screws, one on each end of the resistor pack. Remove the two screws and pull out the resistor pack. You can either get a used one from the junk yard or purchase one from a Chevy dealer. The resistor is used to control the different fan speeds and is located in the the blower housing so that the fan helps cool the resistors when the fan is running.
Where is the location of blower motor and the resistor pack on Toyota Camry LE '99'?
Just pulled mine out. It is under glove compartment filler plate, closest to right hand side. Two Phillips head screws hold it in. It was bad, opened it up and resistor was burned open.
