Dorman 973-441 HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit

Dorman 973-441 HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit

Dorman 973-441 is an HVAC blower motor resistor kit for vehicles that need replacement of an overheated or corroded original resistor and its harness pigtail. It is built for direct service on select Jeep Cherokee, Comanche, and Wagoneer applications without air conditioning.

Key Features

• Includes a blower motor resistor and wire harness for a complete electrical repair at the connector point
• Uses a 4-wire, blade-terminal design with female connector and male terminals
• 6-inch wiring harness length for service on the original HVAC connection
• 2 mounting holes for OE-style installation
• Direct replacement for select Jeep HVAC blower motor resistor applications
• Cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 and 182286 for the same application

Detailed Description

This Dorman HVAC blower motor resistor kit is made for restoring blower speed control when the original resistor or connector has been damaged by heat, corrosion, or electrical wear. The Dorman 973-441 combines the resistor and harness pigtail in one service part, helping address failure at both the resistor and the connector interface. It is a direct-fit solution for 1984-1996 Jeep Cherokee, 1986-1992 Jeep Comanche, and 1984-1990 Jeep Wagoneer models without air conditioning. If you are searching for a Jeep Cherokee blower motor resistor kit or a Jeep Wagoneer HVAC resistor replacement, this part number is a match for the listed applications.

What It Helps Fix

• Blower motor speeds that stop working or only operate on certain settings
• Heat-damaged resistor terminals or corroded connector pins
• Intermittent HVAC fan operation caused by a failing resistor circuit
• Electrical resistance issues at the blower motor resistor connector
• Need for a service repair on Jeep Cherokee, Comanche, or Wagoneer HVAC wiring

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is equipped without air conditioning before ordering. Inspect the blower motor connector and surrounding wiring for heat damage before installation, since damaged terminals can affect the new resistor circuit. Confirm the mounting pattern and terminal style match the original part before reconnecting the HVAC system. For search accuracy, this Dorman 973-441 blower motor resistor kit is listed for 1984-1996 Jeep Cherokee, 1986-1992 Jeep Comanche, and 1984-1990 Jeep Wagoneer, all without air conditioning.

Quality Assurance

Dorman supplies replacement electrical and HVAC service parts engineered to match the original application requirements for listed vehicles. The 973-441 is built as a service replacement for the specified Jeep HVAC resistor applications and is supported by Dorman’s product engineering standards.
