Resistor pack, bottom of the fan assembly, behind the glovebox

So i just take the glove box out and i will find it? is this also how you take the heater motor out? because i have had water leaking through the air vents directly into the heater motor so i might need to change that aswell.

It should be easy to find with the glovebox out of the way

Found the resistor! Very easy job its under the glove box and goes into the heater with wires you simply unplug it an then unclip it off its connector!

Cut the thermal fuse off the resistor pack. Buy a fuse from Maplin for about £2.00 and solder it on. Leave a bit of the old fuse legs to solder to. It is harder to solder to the resistor terminals. OR buy a new resistor pack from VW for about £30.00.

Dam I have just bought a 2nd hand one off ebay for £23, says comes with a 30 day warranty so if its not working i can always send it back! thanks though the maplin idea is alot cheaper! how would I know which fuse to order from maplin there is so many!

RA14Q should be ok. Cost about 80p.

Hi, I have taken out the glovebox of my 07 Passat but cannot find the resistor! (Heater only works on 4.) Please can you tell me where it is? I've taken a couple of photos if someone could show me. Many thanks!

I found the illusive bast*rd! Soldered a new maplin fuse but still only works on setting 4
Get a new resistor?
