Does anyone have a DIY guide, or a photo of where the A/C blower motor resistor for a IHKA version of the A/C system on a 2002 Mini Cooper is mounted at on the car? And or a instruction guide on getting to it to change it out?
There are 2 different A/C systems. The diagram in www.realoem.com that shows the A/C & Heater unit with the 2 different resistors in the same area they (SUPPOSEDLY) are mounted has 1000's of photos across the web showing where the IHKS resistor version mounts. But, I NEED the IHKA <-------- VERSION, a mini with the optional Auto Air feature on it. That resistor does not mount in the location that it shows in the realoem diagram. And where exactly it does mount is a Mystery. I have the latest Bentley service manual and in it the area that talks about removing it just shows a up-close isolated photo of the correct resistor, hanging by the electrical connector. It gives you no clue of where it mounts on the car.
PS. Its not the resistor up by the radiator.
