blower motor resistor??

[Sunday]

Hello,

I have a 1997 318ti that has a bad blower motor resistor. I have narrowed it down (checked the switch, control module etc.) and that is the only other thing it can be. My problem is I can't find the resistor. It is not in the same location as the manual shows for the E36 coupes. Anybody know where it is located in the car?

Thanks,
Sunday

You ever find the location of this ?!?

I have had almost the entire dash out and can not find it.
Please assist if possible.

Cheers chap, i did however have to ask the dealer in the end..Thengot into there and found out the part they ordered for me was the wrong bit!! If u had to do the same bit can u just confirm did ur resistor look like a small piece of computer mother board with a metal sort of capital C stuck on it?! Sorry crap description but guessing if u changed it u'llknow wot i mean!!

Cool ta, i followed the guide for a standard e36 (where its under the dash,,grr spent 4 hrs searching for it!!) Then found the bit they gave me was for a saloon..its completely different..actually looks like it does something with wires and springs and bits but this thing just looks odd!! Oh well guess i just gotta wait for the dealer to get me the right bit now! Appreciate the help
