Featuring two bolt holes, it mounts firmly in place to maintain stable operation. The resistor uses blade-type terminals with four male terminals, paired with a single female square connector, ensuring a secure and precise electrical connection. This part is designed without an included wiring harness or mounting hardware, so existing components can be reused during installation. The package contains the blower motor resistor and detailed instructions to assist with proper installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blower motor resistor is compatible with a range of models including the Chrysler 200, Dodge Avenger, Caliber, Jeep Compass, Patriot, and Grand Cherokee, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Endeavor, Galant, Montero, Scion xA and xB, and Toyota Echo and Sebring. The Dorman 973-160 is suitable for vehicles requiring a replacement resistor to restore HVAC blower motor speed control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by This Resistor\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlower motor only works on high speed or limited speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntermittent or no airflow from HVAC vents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverheating or burning smell from the HVAC system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInconsistent blower motor operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFailure of blower motor speed control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore installation, disconnect the vehicle battery to prevent electrical shorts. Remove the old blower motor resistor by detaching the two mounting bolts and unplugging the connector. Ensure the connector matches the square female shape with four male terminals on the new resistor. Reuse existing mounting hardware if available, as none is included.
