Detailed Description
This Dorman HVAC blower motor resistor is engineered for vehicles that use manual fan-speed control through a resistor-based circuit. When the original resistor burns out, the blower motor may lose one or more speeds or stop working correctly. Dorman 973-087 is a direct replacement part for 2009-2010 Kia Sportage, 2008 Kia Sportage with manual air conditioning, 2004-2007 Kia Spectra with air conditioning, and 2005-2007 Kia Spectra5 with air conditioning. This part cross-references OE-style numbers such as 971282D200 and JA1597 for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Blower fan only works on certain speeds
- No cabin airflow from the HVAC system
- Intermittent heater or A/C fan operation
- Burnt or heat-damaged blower resistor circuit
- Poor control of interior heating and cooling fan output
Installation Notes and Tips
