Common Issues This Part Can Address

  • Blower motor works on only one speed
  • Loss of lower fan speeds in the HVAC system
  • No cabin airflow from the vents at certain settings
  • Intermittent heater or A/C blower operation
  • Burnt or heat-damaged blower resistor failure

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle is equipped with manual A/C before ordering. Match the connector shape, terminal count, and mounting points to the original part before installation. Inspect the blower motor connector and surrounding wiring for heat damage, since a failed resistor can be caused by excess current draw from the blower motor.
