Part details
Where fitted: behind the glovebox / upper heater air intake area on the Panda 169, under the passenger-side dash access panels.
What it controls: the blower fan speed circuit for the heater and air-conditioning system.
Material / build: resistor pack with a 4-wire terminal lug, used original manufacturer component.
Cross-reference OE numbers: 46722909, 46723713, 71732250, A51001500, 6441-T3.
Common fault symptoms: fan only works on maximum speed, some speeds stop working, blower works intermittently, or cabin airflow drops out completely.
Why replace it
A failing resistor can leave the cabin with poor demisting and unreliable heating or cooling. Replacing the faulty unit restores all fan stages and helps the customer avoid a second repair.
Fitting guide
- Disconnect the battery and make sure the ignition is off.
- Remove the glovebox and relevant lower passenger-side trim.
- Locate the resistor at the heater intake area above / behind the glovebox opening.
- Unplug the connector and remove the two retaining screws.
- Transfer the replacement resistor carefully and refit the trim.
- Test every fan speed before final handover.

Helpful buyer information
Buying a used original part can be a smarter choice than a cheap copy because it keeps the factory shape, connector style, and fitment quality. For this part, the most common failure signs are lost fan speeds and unreliable cabin airflow, which can make demisting slower and driving less comfortable. A correct replacement helps restore proper heating and air-conditioning control.
Supporting a local small business keeps skilled parts recycling in motion. Reusing tested vehicle parts reduces waste, lowers demand for new materials, and helps more cars stay on the road for less. ♻️🚗
