Dorman 973-418 HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit

Dorman 973-418 HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit

Dorman 973-418 is an HVAC blower motor resistor kit for vehicles with manual climate control that need replacement of an overheated or corroded original resistor. It includes the resistor and a harness pigtail to restore blower speed control on select Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth applications.

Key Features

• Direct replacement HVAC blower motor resistor kit for manual climate control systems
• Includes a replacement resistor and wire harness pigtail
• Female connector with male blade terminals for the specified application
• 7-wire harness design with 6-inch wiring harness length
• 2 connector and 2 mounting-hole configuration
• Fits select Chrysler 300M, Concorde, Intrepid, LHS, Cirrus, Sebring, Dodge Intrepid, Dodge Stratus, and Plymouth Breeze applications

Detailed Description

This Dorman blower motor resistor kit is built for HVAC systems that have lost proper fan-speed operation because the original resistor has overheated or the connector has deteriorated. It is a practical replacement for Chrysler 300M blower motor resistor, Chrysler Concorde blower motor resistor, and Dodge Intrepid blower motor resistor applications with manual climate control, as well as other listed Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth models. Part number 973-418 is also a useful reference when matching the correct HVAC electrical connector style for the vehicle.

The kit is intended to address the resistor and harness connection together, helping restore consistent blower motor operation in vehicles where heat damage or corrosion has affected the original electrical path. This part cross-references 4P1325 and RU104 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Blower motor only working on certain fan speeds
• No airflow from the HVAC vents due to resistor failure
• Intermittent blower operation caused by heat-damaged terminals
• Corroded or overheated resistor connector at the HVAC harness
• Loss of cabin comfort control in manual climate control systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses manual climate control before ordering. Confirm connector style, terminal count, and mounting-hole layout against the original part, especially on 1998-2004 Chrysler 300M, Concorde, and Intrepid models and 1995-2000 Chrysler Cirrus, 1996-2000 Chrysler Sebring, 1995-2000 Dodge Stratus, 1996-2000 Plymouth Breeze, and 1995-1997 Chrysler Stratus applications. Inspect the blower connector for heat damage before installation and replace any damaged terminals or wiring as needed.

Quality Assurance

Dorman supplies replacement HVAC electrical components engineered to match the original application requirements. Part number 973-418 is built as a service replacement for the listed vehicles and connector configuration.
