Dorman 973-416 HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit

Dorman 973-416 is an HVAC blower motor resistor kit that replaces an overheated or corroded original resistor and restores blower speed control on select vehicles. It includes the resistor and harness pigtail for a direct repair on applications that need connector replacement.

Key Features

  • HVAC blower motor resistor kit for blower speed control repair
  • Includes resistor and harness pigtail for connector replacement
  • Blade terminal type
  • Direct replacement for select Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Ram van applications
  • Part number 973-416 for easy identification and ordering

Detailed Description

This Dorman HVAC blower motor resistor kit is built for vehicles where the original resistor has failed from heat damage or corrosion. It addresses common blower motor speed issues by replacing the resistor and the connector pigtail together, helping restore proper HVAC fan operation. Compatible applications include 2002-2006 Jeep Wrangler, right hand drive, as well as 1997-1998 Dodge B1500, B2500, and B3500, and 1999-2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Van, Ram 2500 Van, and Ram 3500 Van in front or rear positions where listed. This part cross-references RU103 and RU898 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Blower motor only working on certain speeds
  • No airflow from the HVAC vents at selected fan settings
  • Heat-damaged resistor terminals or connector corrosion
  • Intermittent blower operation caused by a failing resistor circuit
  • Connector damage at the blower motor resistor harness

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and position before installation. This kit uses blade terminals and does not include mounting hardware or a gasket/seal. Inspect the blower motor connector and surrounding wiring for heat damage before installing the new resistor and pigtail. Confirm the correct application for 2002-2006 Jeep Wrangler RHD and the listed Dodge B-Series and Ram van models, since front, rear, and main-unit configurations vary by vehicle.

Quality Assurance

Dorman supplies replacement HVAC electrical components for service repairs where the original resistor and connector have deteriorated. Part number 973-416 is engineered as a service replacement for the listed applications and follows the fitment shown for the vehicle-specific repair.
