What It Helps Fix

• Blower fan stuck on one speed
• Loss of lower or higher fan speeds
• Intermittent cabin airflow from the HVAC vents
• No response from the blower motor speed selector
• Heating and cooling performance issues caused by resistor failure

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle uses automatic air conditioning controls or auto temperature control before ordering. This resistor uses a single rectangular female connector with three male blade terminals and mounts with two bolt holes. Mounting hardware is not included, and the wiring harness is not included. Compare the connector shape, terminal count, and OE reference numbers before installation on Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Amanti, Kia Sorento, or Hyundai Tiburon applications.
