Changing the fan resistor in a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta 2.5 is a comparatively easy activity that may be accomplished in about half-hour. The fan resistor is answerable for controlling the velocity of the blower motor, which circulates air via the car’s cabin. When the fan resistor fails, the blower motor might not work in any respect, or it could solely work at excessive velocity. Changing the fan resistor will restore the correct operate of the blower motor and make sure that the car’s cabin is satisfactorily ventilated.
The fan resistor is positioned within the passenger compartment, behind the glove field. To entry the fan resistor, you will have to take away the glove field by squeezing the edges and pulling it straight out. As soon as the glove field is eliminated, you will notice the fan resistor mounted on the aspect of the blower motor housing. The fan resistor is held in place by two screws. Take away the screws and pull the fan resistor straight out of the housing. Watch out to not injury the wires which might be related to the fan resistor.
