Greetings everybody, The automatic climate control system in my 2017 Bmax 1.5 tdci, JK8, is malfunctioning. Please, if you are so inclined, assist me in locating the fan, motor, and resistor assembly; the cabin fan has stopped turning, but I am completely confused as to where to find it. Does it fit beneath the vehicle's radio on the driver's side? on the side of the passenger, between the glove compartment and the airbag?? How do I go about getting a new one? Much obliged.

Make sure you haven't blown a fuse before disassembling your dashboard.
Take off the bottom console trim panel in the left footwell (I'm assuming that's your driver's side) to get to the fan resistor.
I have the impression that further substantial disassembly of the dashboard would be necessary to remove the fan itself.
Videos demonstrating how to access these can be found on YouTube.

It normally only works at maximum speed if the resistor is to blame.

That is a really valid point.
