Blower resistor, where to find it?

[1nsane]

Guten tag! Zum erste enschuldigung für mein Deutsch. Ich komme aus die niederlande und wir bekommen nicht genug unterricht dafur :P darum gehe ich weiter in english.

Since a few weeks i am the proud owner of a 320i e36, really nice car i have to say, i always wanted a bimmer . The car has is in very nice condition but it has a few things i want to fix. One of them is the failing blower resistor. Offcourse i did some research such as the bentley service manual and lots of community's online.
A lot of people and the manual say it should be located above the right of the pedals behind the kickpanel. That is where i started looking but to my surprise it was not there! (take a look at the youtube movie i included).

It looks like the whole countruction of the airbox is completely different.

Does anyone have an idea where it can be found??

Hi Insane,

if it is not there, check next to the blower motor in the engine room.
See the pics here under blower fan motor replacement

it says:

Carefully remove the wiring from the fan using a long nose pliers (Arrows 1 and 2). If you replace the retaining clip you'll have to clip the tywrap (Arrow 3). The final stage unit is also visible here (Arrow 4).

by the way, very helpful to make a you tube.

I hope you find it now, please let us know
