Dorman 973-099 HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit

Dorman 973-099 HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit

Dorman 973-099 is an HVAC blower motor resistor kit for vehicles with Automatic Temperature Control (ATC). It includes a replacement resistor and a wiring harness pigtail to address heat damage or corrosion at the original connector and restore proper blower speed control.

Key Features

• Direct replacement HVAC blower motor resistor kit for select Nissan applications
• Includes a resistor and harness pigtail for connector repair at the same service point
• 11-inch wiring harness with 4 wires, blade terminals, and 3-terminal male connector design
• 2 mounting holes for OE-style installation on the blower resistor location
• Built for 2000-2003 Nissan Maxima models with Automatic Temperature Control (ATC)

Detailed Description

This Dorman blower motor resistor kit is made for 2000-2003 Nissan Maxima vehicles equipped with Automatic Temperature Control. The resistor manages blower motor speed operation, while the included harness pigtail addresses damaged or overheated original wiring at the connector. If your Nissan Maxima has inconsistent fan speeds, a failed blower setting, or visible heat damage at the resistor connector, Dorman 973-099 provides the replacement components needed for the repair.

This part cross-references Dorman 973-099 with OE-style applications such as 277612Y000 and RU633 for the same vehicle fitment. The Dorman 973-099 part number is also useful when searching for a Nissan Maxima blower motor resistor kit, HVAC resistor connector repair, or ATC blower speed control replacement.

What It Helps Fix

• Blower motor speeds that stop working or only operate on certain settings
• Heat-damaged or corroded resistor connector terminals
• Intermittent HVAC fan operation
• Loss of cabin airflow control through the dash vents
• Electrical resistance issues at the blower resistor connection

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2000-2003 Nissan Maxima, N/A, with Automatic Temperature Control (ATC). Confirm the connector style, terminal count, and harness routing before installation. Inspect the blower motor connector and surrounding wiring for heat damage, corrosion, or melted insulation so the repair addresses the full fault area. The resistor mounts with two holes and uses a male connector with blade terminals.

Quality Assurance

Dorman supplies replacement automotive electrical and HVAC components for service repairs where the original part has failed from wear, heat, or corrosion. This kit is built to replace the resistor and connector section at the affected location on the vehicle.
