Dorman 973-440 HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit

Dorman 973-440 is an HVAC blower motor resistor kit that replaces an overheated or corroded original resistor and restores proper blower speed control. It includes the resistor and a harness pigtail for a direct repair on select rear HVAC applications.

• HVAC blower motor resistor kit for electrical connector repair
• Includes a replacement resistor and harness pigtail
• 18.25 in. wiring harness length
• Male connector with female terminals
• Blade terminal design with 2 connector interfaces and 8-wire harness layout
• Rear HVAC application for select Dodge Journey models

Detailed Application Overview

This Dorman blower motor resistor kit, part number 973-440, is built for rear HVAC systems on select Dodge Journey vehicles. It addresses resistor and connector damage caused by heat or corrosion, helping restore blower motor speed operation in the rear climate control circuit. This part cross-references Four Seasons 20641 for the same application.

Compatible With 2011-2019 Dodge Journey, rear, and 2009-2010 Dodge Journey, rear with Automatic Temperature Control (ATC). The fitment coverage makes Dorman 973-440 a focused repair solution for rear blower motor resistor failure on the Dodge Journey.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Rear blower motor only works on certain speeds
• No airflow from the rear HVAC blower motor
• Intermittent fan speed operation
• Heat-damaged or corroded resistor connector
• Electrical resistance issues in the rear HVAC circuit

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the connector, terminals, and surrounding wiring before installation. If the original resistor overheated, check for melted insulation, corrosion, or loose terminals in the harness before connecting the replacement pigtail. Verify rear HVAC configuration and, for 2009-2010 Dodge Journey models, confirm Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Dorman supplies this kit as a replacement electrical repair component for the specified vehicle applications. The included harness pigtail supports repair of damaged OE-style connections at the resistor interface.
