Key Features

• Direct replacement blower motor resistor for select Honda HVAC systems
• Matches original equipment operation and performance on covered vehicles
• Rectangular 1-connector design with 3 male blade terminals
• 2 bolt-hole mounting layout for OE-style installation
• Package includes the blower motor resistor and instructions
• Cross-references Four Seasons 20283 and Standard Ignition RU1054 for the same application

Detailed Description

The Dorman 973-179 HVAC blower motor resistor is engineered for vehicles that need restored blower fan speed control after the factory resistor burns out. It is a direct replacement part for select 1997-2001 Honda CR-V, 1999-2000 Honda Civic, and 2000-2006 Honda Insight models, helping bring back consistent heating and cooling performance. If your Honda CR-V, Civic, or Insight has lost one or more fan speeds, this resistor addresses the electrical control point that regulates blower motor output.

Built with a rectangular female connector, 3 terminal blades, and a 2-bolt mounting pattern, Dorman 973-179 is shaped to match the original component layout on the listed vehicles. The part number 973-179 is a practical OE-style replacement for drivers searching for a Honda CR-V blower motor resistor, Honda Civic HVAC resistor, or Honda Insight blower motor resistor.

Common Issues This Part Can Help Solve

• Blower motor works only on certain fan speeds
• No cabin airflow from the HVAC vents on selected settings
• Intermittent heater or A/C blower operation
• Burned or heat-damaged original blower motor resistor
• Loss of proper manual fan-speed control in the HVAC system

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and mounting layout before installation. This part uses a single rectangular female connector and does not include a wiring harness or mounting hardware. Follow the included instructions and inspect the blower motor connector for heat damage before installing the new resistor.

Compatible With 1997-2001 Honda CR-V, 1999-2000 Honda Civic, and 2000-2006 Honda Insight. For shoppers comparing replacement options, Dorman 973-179 is also referenced against Four Seasons 20283 and Standard Ignition RU1054.
