Hi peeps.....ive got a fiat punto evo multiair 1.4t 16v......2011 plate.
It has a different heater than than other models...its push button type, the resistor switch apparently should be hnderneath dashboard, pass side, white plastic housing ....got plastic housing bit in view...nothing leading to it! No resistor switch that i can find...is it under the glove box? If not im stumped...cheers ian

Don't know about yours, but on many Fiats the heater fan resister is screwed to the fan motor housing to cool it, possibly with four wires. Try looking at one on eBay to see if you can recognise it.

Hi Ian,

Dod you figure this out??

Airflow is often linked to such failures
