Detailed Product Information

Dorman 973-019 is an HVAC blower motor resistor used to control blower fan speeds in the heating and air conditioning system. When the original resistor burns out, the blower may stop working on certain speeds or lose proper airflow control. This replacement is made to match the function and performance of the original equipment on compatible vehicles, including 1996-2000 Dodge Caravan, 1996-2000 Dodge Grand Caravan, 1996-2000 Chrysler Town & Country, and 2000 Chrysler Voyager. It also fits 2000 Chrysler Grand Voyager and 1996-2000 Plymouth Voyager and Grand Voyager front HVAC applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Blower motor works only on certain fan speeds
• No cabin airflow from the HVAC vents
• Intermittent heater or A/C blower operation
• Burned or failed blower resistor causing loss of fan control
• Poor heating and cooling performance from the front HVAC system

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style and vehicle fitment before installation. This resistor uses blade terminals and does not include mounting hardware. Follow the included instructions and inspect the blower motor connector and wiring for heat damage before installing the new resistor. Confirm the application matches your vehicle year, make, model, and front position, especially for 1996-2000 Dodge Caravan, Dodge Grand Caravan, and Plymouth Voyager models.

Quality Assurance

Dorman supplies this HVAC blower motor resistor as a direct replacement part for select OE applications. Part number 973-019 is intended to restore normal blower speed control on compatible Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth front HVAC systems.
