No, I don't know either and can't find it in the Haynes Book of Lies. Its just behind the grille at the front.

Looks like a resistor....probably for your lights bright/dipped...

It is a cooling fan speed resistor.

I changed one on a xsara about 3 weeks ago.

That paticular vehicle was 2 years old with aircon.

There were 2 in the cooling fan panel ( as yours) & colour coded because of differant resistance ratings.

The problem with mine is that the fan did not work until near boil warning, checked both resistors using a multimeter & found one resistor dead.

I can't remember the exact price of the unit - I think around a tenner.

Hope this helps, regards.....
