Hi folks - can anyone help me find the resistor? 2012 XC60

Fans are on full speed, even with the engine off. T’internet suggests it’s almost certainly the resistor. I’ve got hold of one, but I can’t see where it is.

I’ve watched a couple of YouTube videos, but they are from across the pond, so they’re showing LHD.

I’m guessing the resistor is probably in the same location (they wouldn’t switch it between LHD and RHD would they?)

I have a feeling that a fair bit of stuff is going to have to come off to get at it. I’m pretty handy with the spanner’s, but at 62 years old, I don’t much fancy the idea of hanging upside down in the passenger footwell to get the damn thing out.

Failing that, can anyone tell me how to get the upper fuse box panel out, so that I can pull the cassette fuse for the fans?

EDIT: Found it (after pulling off a load of trim and removing the glovebox…)

2 minutes to fit the resistor, but 2 hours to get everything out of the way to fit it and then put it all back together again…
