#1 A/C Fan Speeds on S3 2+2 Coupe

My A/C blower fan (not the heater fan) is currently running only "high" and "off" instead of the low, med, high and off. Nothing happens at low and medium switch placement.
A/C works good.

I want to get the 3 speeds back.

Does this sound like a switch problem or is there a resistor (simlar to the green heater fan resistor) in the A/C circuit?

Is the A/C front panel difficult to remove (to get to the switch)? Is it serviceable?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks from Canada.

Hello,

this failure is due to the air con resistor, part numebr C27267. It's a green tubular part.

When fitting a new one, please avoid the direct contact to any metal surface, because the resistor will be hot when working = it needs air to be cooled.

Thank you for the reply. I thought that large green resistor was for the heater blower . That will be an easy fix. thanks again.
