Compatible with Jaguar XF, XJ, XK, XKR, XFR, XFR-S, XJR, XJR575, F-Type, and Land Rover LR3, LR4, and Range Rover Sport applications, this resistor addresses common blower speed control failures in the heating and cooling system.

Key Features

• Direct replacement HVAC blower motor resistor
• Designed to match original equipment operation and performance
• Rectangular 1-connector design with 4 male terminals
• Blade terminal type for OE-style electrical connection
• Mounts with 2 bolt holes
• Package includes the blower motor resistor and instructions
• Dorman 973-255 for select Jaguar and Land Rover applications

Detailed Description

The Dorman 973-255 blower motor resistor is engineered for vehicles that have lost proper fan speed control due to a failed resistor. It is a direct-fit replacement for select Jaguar and Land Rover HVAC systems, helping restore normal heating and cooling functionality without changing the rest of the blower assembly. This part cross-references Genuine LR031677 for the same application.

Use this resistor on 2005-2009 Land Rover LR3, front; 2006-2013 Land Rover Range Rover Sport; 2010-2016 Land Rover LR4, front; 2007-2015 Jaguar XK; 2007-2015 Jaguar XKR; 2009-2015 Jaguar XF; 2010-2015 Jaguar XFR; 2010-2018 Jaguar XJ; 2012-2015 Jaguar XKR-S; 2013-2015 Jaguar XFR-S; 2014-2017 Jaguar XJR; 2014-2019 Jaguar F-Type; and 2018 Jaguar XJR575.

What It Helps Fix

• Blower motor stuck on one speed
• Loss of lower or higher fan speeds
• Intermittent HVAC fan operation
• No cabin airflow from the vents
• Heating and cooling performance issues caused by resistor failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm connector shape, terminal count, and mounting location before installation. This unit uses a single rectangular female connector, 4 male terminals, and 2 bolt-hole mounting. Wiring harness and mounting hardware are not included. Follow the included instructions and verify the replacement matches the original resistor removed from the vehicle.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs this replacement resistor to match the function and performance of the original equipment on the listed Jaguar and Land Rover applications. Part number 973-255 is built for direct replacement use in the factory HVAC system.
