HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit for Mitsubishi Galant

Dorman 973-053 is an HVAC blower motor resistor kit that replaces an overheated or corroded original resistor and restores blower speed control. It includes the resistor and a harness pigtail for a direct repair on the 1999 Mitsubishi Galant, to 11/99.

Key Features

  • HVAC blower motor resistor kit with resistor and wire harness
  • Blade terminal design with 4-wire, 4-terminal construction
  • Female connector and male terminals for the repair connection
  • 16-inch wiring harness length for service replacement use
  • Mounts with 2 holes; mounting hardware is not included
  • Fits 1999 Mitsubishi Galant, to 11/99

Product Details

Dorman 973-053 is built for vehicles that need replacement of a damaged blower motor resistor and its heat-affected connector pigtail. The kit addresses the electrical connection at the HVAC blower circuit, helping restore proper fan speed operation when the original resistor has been overheated or the connector has become corroded. This part cross-references Mitsubishi applications such as MR398371 and RU939 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Blower motor only works on certain fan speeds
  • No cabin airflow from the HVAC blower on selected settings
  • Intermittent blower operation caused by a damaged resistor circuit
  • Heat damage or corrosion at the original resistor connector
  • Loss of HVAC fan speed control in the 1999 Mitsubishi Galant

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and mounting-hole layout before installation. Inspect the blower motor connector and surrounding wiring for heat damage, then replace any compromised terminals or insulation as needed. Confirm application on the 1999 Mitsubishi Galant, to 11/99, and compare the original part number 973-053 against the vehicle’s existing resistor assembly before service.

Quality Assurance

Dorman supplies this HVAC blower motor resistor kit as a service replacement for specific vehicle applications. The included harness pigtail supports repair of the electrical connection when the original resistor assembly has been damaged by heat or corrosion.
