Dorman 973-054 Blower Motor Resistor

Restore HVAC blower speed control with this direct replacement blower motor resistor from Dorman. Built for 1992-1995 Jeep Wrangler applications, Dorman 973-054 is made to match the original equipment operating pattern for heating and cooling system performance.

Key Features

  • Direct replacement HVAC blower motor resistor for selected Jeep Wrangler models
  • Matches OE-style operation and performance for factory blower speed control
  • Rectangle 1-connector design with 3 male terminals and blade terminals
  • 2 bolt holes for mounting in the HVAC case
  • Includes instructions for installation reference
  • Cross-references Jeep OE and aftermarket numbers including 55035958 and JA1494

Detailed Description

This Dorman blower motor resistor, part number 973-054, is built for 1992-1995 Jeep Wrangler heating and air conditioning systems. It is the correct choice when the blower motor only works on certain speeds or loses speed control because the resistor has failed. The rectangular single-connector layout, 3-terminal configuration, and 2-bolt mounting pattern support a direct replacement installation in the original HVAC housing.

Compatible With 1992-1995 Jeep Wrangler HVAC systems, Dorman 973-054 helps restore proper blower motor speed selection for defrost, heat, and cabin cooling operation. This part cross-references Jeep OE and aftermarket numbers such as 55035958 and JA1494 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Blower motor works only on one speed
  • Loss of lower or medium fan speeds
  • Intermittent HVAC fan operation
  • No cabin airflow from the heater or A/C vents
  • Failed resistor causing reduced heating and cooling control

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the resistor in the original HVAC blower motor resistor location and verify the connector style, terminal count, and mounting points before replacement. Inspect the blower motor and related wiring for heat damage or corrosion, since a failing motor or damaged connector can shorten resistor life. Use the included instructions as a reference during service.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs this replacement resistor to follow the operation and performance of the original equipment part for the listed Jeep Wrangler applications. Part number 973-054 is built as a direct-fit service component for factory-style HVAC repair.
