location of the blower motor or final stage resistor?

Does anyone know the location of the blower motor resistor (sometimes also called final stage resistor)? The fan in my 2001 SLK320 sometimes stops blowing air (hot or cold). Turning off and on the power button on the control panel a few times could get the fan to blow again. A few posts here have mentioned that this problem is related to the blower motor resistor, which needs to be replaced. Does anyone know where's it located? Thanks.

Hello, the fan motor and also the resistor are located below the glovebox. Have a look at this link - http://www.detali.ru/cat/oem_mb2.asp...SGR=015&SGN=01

Item No 135 is the resistor, and 130 is the fan motor. To get to them you could look at this link to change the Pollen Filter, this will allow you to see the fan and resistor.

Here is the link - http://www.mann-hummel.com/mf_prodka...BXUNVbMQs_.pdf

Hope this helps, regards Damian.
