Detailed Product Overview

This Dorman HVAC blower motor resistor kit, part number 973-460, is made for vehicles that use a resistor and connector-style repair at the blower motor circuit. It is a practical replacement for Honda Civic blower motor resistor repair needs on 1992-1998 Honda Civic and 1993-1997 Honda Civic del Sol models. This part cross-references 79330SR3A01 for the same application.

The kit uses a female connector with male blade terminals and a 4-wire layout to match the original electrical connection on the supported vehicles. The included harness pigtail helps restore a secure connection where the factory resistor plug has been heat damaged, brittle, or corroded. Dorman 973-460 is a focused electrical repair solution for HVAC blower speed control service.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Blower motor only works on certain fan speeds
• No cabin airflow from the HVAC blower motor
• Intermittent blower operation caused by a damaged resistor connector
• Heat-related melting or corrosion at the original resistor plug
• Electrical resistance issues in the blower motor circuit

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and mounting hole layout before installation. Inspect the blower motor resistor connector, wiring, and surrounding HVAC harness for heat damage before connecting the new pigtail. Confirm the repair on the vehicle side before final assembly. Compatible with 1992-1998 Honda Civic and 1993-1997 Honda Civic del Sol applications listed above.
