Dorman 973-094 HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit

HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit for Mitsubishi

Dorman 973-094 is an HVAC blower motor resistor kit that replaces an overheated or corroded original resistor and restores blower speed control on select Mitsubishi vehicles. It includes the resistor and a replacement harness pigtail for a direct electrical repair on common HVAC connector failures.

Key Features

• Includes a blower motor resistor and wire harness pigtail
• Uses a 4-wire harness with a female connector and male blade terminals
• 7-inch wiring harness length for service replacement applications
• 2 mounting holes and 3 terminals for OE-style installation points
• Direct-fit electrical repair for HVAC blower speed circuits
• Compatible with Mitsubishi Lancer, Outlander, Outlander Sport, and RVR applications

Detailed Description

This Dorman blower motor resistor kit, part number 973-094, is built for vehicles that have lost one or more fan speeds due to heat damage, corrosion, or connector wear at the resistor circuit. It is a practical replacement for Mitsubishi Lancer, Mitsubishi Outlander, Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, and Mitsubishi RVR models that use this style of HVAC electrical connector and resistor assembly. This part cross-references 4P1685 and RU691 for the same application.

The kit is configured with a female connector, male blade terminals, 4 wires, and a 7-inch harness length to address damaged original wiring at the resistor connection. The package contents include the blower motor resistor and wire harness, making it suitable for repairing the electrical side of the HVAC blower control circuit without replacing unrelated components. Search terms such as Mitsubishi Lancer blower motor resistor kit, Mitsubishi Outlander HVAC resistor replacement, and Dorman 973-094 blower resistor harness are commonly used for this application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Blower motor works only on certain fan speeds
• No cabin airflow from the HVAC blower on selected settings
• Heat-damaged resistor connector or melted pigtail wiring
• Corroded electrical terminals at the blower resistor connection
• Intermittent HVAC fan operation caused by a failing resistor circuit

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the connector, terminals, and surrounding wiring before installation. If the original resistor area shows heat damage, replace any damaged wiring and verify the blower motor is not drawing excessive current, since an overcurrent condition can shorten the life of the new resistor. Confirm the mounting hole layout and terminal style match the vehicle connector before final assembly. Fits 2008-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer, N/A. Fits 2007-2013 Mitsubishi Outlander, N/A.
