Actually the main issue was clogged windshield drainage pipe.. so water some how was getting into the blower fan and resistor was first to affect. I did cleaned drainage pipes on both sides of windshield about 6 months ago but they have tiny holes and gets easily clogged up..
Best and easiest way I found to clean clogged pipes is to use pressure washer, open the bonnet 1 minute and job from the top and it’s done but sadly it need to be done every so often.. or I’ll make those drainage holes a bit bigger in wheel arches as they’re a pain..(?)
