Heater resistor relay

The heater resistor relays are accessed from underneath the dashboard.

REMOVAL

• Disconnect the battery, starting with the negative terminal.

• Remove the front sill trim (front section).

• Unclip the access hatch to the lower housing.

• Unclip the side cheek panel.

• Unclip the high beam adjustment control.
• Remove:

• the bolts (1),
• the connector of the high beam adjustment control unit.

• Remove the air duct (2) front left footwell.
• Unclip the air duct (2) at (3).
• Bend the air duct (2) downward at (4).
• Lift the air duct (2).

• Remove:

• the lower cover over the beam reinforcement plate,
• partially the carpet.

• Loosen the elastic stud (6) between the distribution box and the beam reinforcement plate.
• Remove:

• the four fixing screws (7) of the beam reinforcement plate,
• the beam reinforcement plate (8) by sliding it toward the front of the vehicle.

• The relay holder box (9) (heater resistor relay) is attached to the blower motor.

• Press the tab (10), pull the box toward the front of the vehicle.
• Remove the heater resistor relay box.

INSTALLATION

• Refit in the reverse order of removal.
• Reform the air circuit by working through the air outlet holes and applying hand pressure perpendicular to the fold.

Connect the battery; carry out the necessary relearn procedures (Chapter Battery).

• Tighten to the following torques:

• the body reinforcement plate mounting screws (2.1 daN.m),
• engine cover screws (0.4 daN.m).

RIGHT-HAND DRIVE

The heater resistor relays are accessed from underneath the dashboard.

REMOVAL

• Disconnect the battery, starting with the negative terminal.
• Remove the front sill trim (front section) Chapter Interior body trim.

• Unclip the side cheek panel.

• Remove the screws (1).
• Remove the glovebox.
• Disconnect the connector from the glovebox.

• Remove the front left ventilation duct (2).
• Unclip the air duct (2) at (4).
• Bend the air duct (2) downward at (5).
• Lift the air duct (2).
• Unclip the clip (3) located behind the engine hood release control bracket.

• Remove, for vehicles equipped with heater resistors, the relay bracket fitted to the blower motor assembly in order to remove the blower motor assembly control (Chapter Heating).
• Remove the pedal sensor at (6).

• Remove the relay holder box at (7) (heater resistor relay).
• Remove the heater resistor relay box.
• Press the tab (8), then pull the box toward the front of the vehicle to remove it from the blower motor assembly.

• Remove the resistor relay box downward.
• Remove the relevant relay.

INSTALLATION

• Refit in the reverse order of removal.
• Reshape the air duct by working through the air outlet holes and applying pressure by hand perpendicular to the fold.

Connect the battery; carry out the necessary relearn procedures (Chapter Battery).

• Torque the battery cover screws (0.4 daN.m).
