Blower/heater resistor location?

[C2kev]

my blowers have stopped working. I've checked all the fuses and all are fine, so after searching on here it is most likely to be the resistor. My question is this - where is it, what does it look like and how do I change/fix it? I have just re-newed my membership hoping to find a guide/pic but cant find one.

Under the scuttle panel below the windscreen

Cheers, any idea what it looks like?

Pop 'Clio Heater Resistor' into google images and it will show various pictures of the location of the unit and pictures of the part itself.

I found the resistor and removed it. Now i have bridged numbers 1 and 5 connectors and the fans come on full power as expected. Will it be ok to leave it like this for a few days until i get a new resistor? Shouldn't do any harm should it?

Kev. I wrote a guide on how to fix it it's in the guides section on this forum. Worth a shot if you're capable, saves quite a few pennies.

I thought there would be a guide but couldnt find it on here. I did find one on cliodci.net, it maybe the one you wrote? Anyway I've ordered a new resistor now for 3quid so just need to solder it on when it comes.

benkay i just looked through your threads and found your guide. That is the one google found on cliodci.net, good write up. Couple of questions though, do you need to re-silicone it? And what silicone would i need?

Cliodci nicked it then! You don't need to re-silicone it. I did mine a good 3 years ago and didn't re-silicone and it's fine.
