Direct Replacement Blower Motor Resistor

Dorman 973-116 is a direct replacement HVAC blower motor resistor for select Nissan models with automatic air conditioning controls. It restores proper blower speed operation when the original resistor burns out, helping return heating and cooling performance to normal.

Key Features

  • Direct replacement design for original equipment fit and function
  • Blade terminals with a rectangular 1-connector layout
  • 4-wire, 4-terminal configuration
  • Front HVAC application for select Nissan Versa and Nissan Cube models
  • Package includes the blower motor resistor and instructions

Detailed Description

This Dorman HVAC blower motor resistor is built for vehicles that use automatic air conditioning controls and need a replacement for a failed factory resistor. Part number 973-116 is engineered to match the operation and performance of the original component on select 2007-2012 Nissan Versa and 2009-2011 Nissan Cube front HVAC systems. This part cross-references OE-style numbers such as 27150ED00A and RU702 for the same application.

Use 973-116 when the blower motor only works on certain speeds or stops responding after the resistor has overheated. It is a practical replacement for Nissan Versa and Nissan Cube owners looking to restore cabin airflow control without changing the full HVAC assembly.

What It Helps Fix

  • Blower motor works on only one speed
  • No airflow from the HVAC vents at selected settings
  • Intermittent cabin fan operation
  • Loss of proper heating and cooling fan control
  • Burnt or heat-damaged blower resistor failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2007-2012 Nissan Versa, front, compatible with automatic air conditioning controls. Fits 2009-2011 Nissan Cube, front, compatible with automatic air conditioning controls. Confirm the connector style, terminal layout, and vehicle HVAC control type before installation. Inspect the blower motor connector and surrounding wiring for heat damage, since a failed resistor can leave related terminals discolored or brittle.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs this replacement resistor to match original equipment operation on the listed applications. The package includes instructions to support a straightforward repair.
