Detailed Description
This Dorman blower motor resistor kit, part number 973-452, is built for vehicles that have lost one or more fan speeds due to heat damage, corrosion, or connector wear at the resistor circuit. The included harness pigtail addresses damaged original wiring at the same time as the resistor, helping restore proper HVAC blower operation on compatible Honda Accord, Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, Honda Element, Honda Crosstour, Acura TSX, and Acura RDX applications. It is a practical OE-style repair for common HVAC electrical failures in these platforms.
Compatible With 2003-2005 Honda Accord, 2001-2011 Honda Civic, 2007-2011 Honda CR-V, 2003-2011 Honda Element, 2012-2015 Honda Crosstour, 2004-2005 Acura TSX, 2009-2014 Acura TSX, and 2007-2012 Acura RDX. This part number 973-452 also cross-references Standard Ignition RU1060 for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Blower motor works on only certain fan speeds
- No cabin air from the HVAC vents
- Intermittent blower operation caused by heat-damaged resistor circuits
- Corroded or overheated resistor connector terminals
- Electrical resistance issues in the HVAC blower control circuit
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify connector style, terminal count, and mounting hole layout before installation. This kit uses a female connector with male blade terminals and includes a harness pigtail for repairing damaged wiring at the resistor connector. Mounting hardware is not included. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment for your Honda Accord, Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, or Acura TSX application before service.
Quality Assurance
Dorman manufactures replacement electrical and HVAC service parts for direct-fit repair applications. Part number 973-452 is engineered as a replacement solution for select vehicles where the original blower motor resistor has been damaged by heat or corrosion.
