Are you sure it is the resistor pack and not the wiring? I had a similar issue on my daughter's Punto, it turned out to be the wiring close to the connector had corroded / melted through. I cut and re-joined the wires and it worked fine.

Hello, my cabin fan is not blowing and I have figured out it must be the resistor because when I measure voltage from cables it shows 12V and when I attach the fan directly to the batter it runs, but when I plug it to the cables it doesnt work and voltage drop to about 3V or so.

So now I will buy a new resistor but I am not sure which one is correct for my car. I have fiat punto 1.2, year 2004.

I found 2 with very different prices:

silux.si/izdelki/hladilni-sistemi/ventilatorji/upori-ventilatorja-kabine/240383/upor-ventilatorja-kabine-fiat-punto-99

AND

I dont know...but when I measure the vires alone it shows 12V correctly, should that be enough?

No just because you can see a 12v doesnt mean it has the ability to carry current
When it does carry current it goes to 0 due to thebstupudly high resistance

Early mk2 had a connector that often melted.....

All mk2 and mk2b suffer with overheating connectors destroying them and damaging the wiring as well as

You may find if you wiggle the connector - itll spring to life for a brief second....

Look in the guides section - i did a guide on this....

Remember the fan has a 12v constant +ve feed......

The resistor and switch are all on the negative side

If it cant earth - if it can find another route it does!
Hence the mk2s then went via the sidelight system
Mk2b got a slight change and prevented this happening

But still got the same crappy connector

Can you tell me the colours of the wires where you are measuring 12 Volts ???
And also now you have removed the connectors and wired direct is the 12v still there when you try to switch the fan on ???

See Diagram attached maybe the colours have changed but it will give you an idea

Do as i said in the other post disconnect the fan and measure between each wire and the body of the car , that way we know which is the 12volt and which is the earth (Neg feed)
