Console gets extremely hot when AC is running

as above check all of this the cabin air filter is nice to have but a PITA to change so in my 2 3s that I had I pulled them and left them out so as not to have to spend 45 mins crunched up in the passenger foot well changing the every 15k miles when they get clogged. if the cabin filter is clogged it could be causing the resistor to over heat. you circled right where the cabin air filter lives I bet you money the filter is clogged and restricting airflow severely and causing the a/c to need to work much harder then normal to cool the car, especially if it has auto climate controls it will use the sensor on the dash by the windshield (the little dome) to read cabin temp and relay that info to the climate control system, well if the filter is clogged you get less airflow and the temp wont go down or up as expected by the system, this will in turn cause it to work harder longer and can induce over heating, also if the filters are clogged it could be overheating components that use the air flow to cool themselves like the resistor I would suggest changing your cabin air filter before doing anything else. resistors usually either work or don't and don't fail like that, especially on manual controls it usually will quit blowing at 1 or 2 speeds when it fails but the others work auto it will usually just burn out and nothing will work. the cabin filter in the 2010s is on the passenger side you have to scrunch up in the foot well and take the plastic molding off the center console (on passenger side of radio and a/c controls) and then you see a door with 4 bolts holding it in, you must remove the bolts and then the door slides out as a tray and there will be 2 filter elements inside, you must replace both and any cabin filter you buy that states it fits this car should have 2 separate little filters. make sure you note which one was on top, as it does matter.
