Dorman 973-047 HVAC Blower Motor Resistor

Restore proper cabin airflow control with this Dorman HVAC blower motor resistor. Built as a direct replacement for the original unit, it is designed to match OE operation and performance on select Dodge Viper and Jeep Grand Cherokee applications.

Key Features

Detailed Description

Dorman 973-047 is an HVAC blower motor resistor used to control blower fan speed in the heating and air conditioning system. When the original resistor fails, cabin airflow can become limited or stop working at certain speeds. This replacement is engineered for select 2000-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee models without climate control, as well as 2003-2006 and 2008-2010 Dodge Viper applications. It is also referenced by part number 973-047 for cross-checking during service and parts lookup. This part cross-references 5014212AA and RU368 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Blower motor only working on one speed
  • No cabin fan operation at selected settings
  • Intermittent heating or cooling airflow
  • Burnt or failed blower motor resistor
  • Poor HVAC fan speed control in Dodge Viper and Jeep Grand Cherokee systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses the correct HVAC configuration before ordering, especially on 2000-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee models with the exception of climate control. Confirm connector style and mounting location against the original part before installation. The package includes instructions; mounting hardware is not included. Use the original fasteners and inspect the blower motor and connector for heat damage before installing the new resistor.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs this resistor as a direct replacement to restore factory-style HVAC blower control on the listed Dodge Viper and Jeep Grand Cherokee applications. The part number 973-047 is intended to simplify identification and service matching during repair.
