I believe this is the same vehicle as the Toyota Tarago from Australia.
In the Tarago you access the resistor from within the engine compartment. To do this on the 2.4 petrol model, you need to follow these steps.
NOTE: you may need to unmount the radiator overflow bottle and gently move it far enough aside to get at the rest of the bits.
1. lift the bonnet/hood and remove the blower intake (4 screws hold it in)
2. remove the top half of the radiator fan shroud (4 screws - 2 top, 2 half way down) you may need to turn it a little as you pull it out and also the fan a little to give enough room to do it
3. Under the blower there is a cover retained by 3 screws underneath, (one each side at the rear and one at the front right of the cover.) There is also a 10mm bolt holding it on the right hand side.
4. After removing this cover you will see a rectangular plate with a plug and two screws underneath at the back.
5 Unclip the plug and undo the two screws.
6 Remove this plate and the resistor block is mounted to the other side of it.
Reassembly is a reverse of the removal.
Cheers
Derek
