Resistor pack is just above the electric heater valve on the left side of the heater.
Drop glove box fully, remove panel above, and panel to the right and you should see it.
Unusual to work on 2, if it doesn't work on 3. May possibly be the switch and not the pack.

no wonder i couldnt find it, everyone told me its in the engine bay! your a genius! :thumb: i,ll give the switch a check first, sounds easier, and at first number 3 was intermitant so sounds more likely to be that. thats another :beer: your owed!
