Not on a 944 but done plenty of heating rsistors, finding it is your biggest problem!
Check the connections for signs of burning but usually its a case of replacing it.

Hi,

On a 968 which should be the same the resistor block is on the top of the blower assembly just in front of the windscreen under the bonnet. It has a series of contacts on it which can be cleaned up by lightly rubbing wet and dry between them. Worked for me.

If its the same it's a simple DIY, a couple of screws and a connector.

Hope this helps

Cheers

It's reasonably obvious - it will of course have electrical cable and a wiring plug going into it, so you are really looking for those.
