Dorman 973-122 HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit

Dorman 973-122 HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit

Dorman 973-122 is an HVAC blower motor resistor kit for select Honda applications, including 1990-1993 Honda Accord. It replaces an overheated or corroded original resistor and restores proper blower motor speed control through the HVAC system.

• Includes a replacement blower motor resistor and harness pigtail
• Uses a 5-wire, 5-terminal design with blade terminals
• Female connector with male terminals for the specified application
• 22-inch wiring harness length
• Two mounting holes for vehicle-specific installation points

Application Details

This HVAC blower motor resistor kit is built for vehicles that use a resistor-based blower speed circuit and a matching connector repair. It is a direct-fit service part for 1990-1993 Honda Accord models, making it a practical choice when the original resistor shows heat damage, corrosion, or connector wear. Part number 973-122 is also a useful reference when searching for a Honda Accord blower motor resistor kit or HVAC electrical connector repair.

This part cross-references 79330SM4003 and RU829 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Blower motor only working on certain fan speeds
• Intermittent HVAC fan operation
• Heat-damaged resistor connector terminals
• Corrosion at the blower motor resistor harness
• Loss of cabin airflow control through the dash switch

Installation Notes

Verify connector style, terminal count, and mounting location before installation. Inspect the blower motor connector and surrounding wiring for heat damage before replacing the resistor. Use the included butt connectors to complete the harness repair, and confirm proper fan-speed operation after installation.

Quality Assurance

Dorman replacement electrical components are built for service use on the listed applications and are intended to restore function where the original resistor and connector have failed.
