[QUOTE="timmyk78, post: 185827, member: 12643"] It’s relatively easy to change the resistor without removing the whole dash. (RHD car) In the glovebox remove the two nuts that hold the airbag in - you need a deep socket 13mm from memory Lift the airbag out and prop it (no need to disconnect) and follow a two thick wires red and black down close to the centre binnacle where they go onto a connector Remove the connector which has about 4 other wires that go to the heater switch That connects to the back of the resitor which is hidden inside the ductwork. The resistor is held in by two 6mm head machine screws, one you can just see looking down (above the connector). Remove those (it’s a faff) and the resistor pulls out. I found that I could put a socket head on and just about remove them just with fingers and pliers, once they start it’s easy Replacements are available all over the place including Amazon for about £20. Photos are of mine from a 2010 mark2. Cut the wires, rejoin and put everything back together. It took an hour, although I had to do it twice as I needed the part number to order. I did find just removing and replacing the connector worked for about 6 months so it may just be a bad connection but I had the parts so did it anyway [/QUOTE]
