Detailed Description

This Dorman blower motor resistor kit is built for vehicles that have lost one or more blower speeds due to resistor failure or connector damage. Part number 973-467 is a practical repair solution for 2007-2009 Dodge Nitro and 2007-2009 Jeep Liberty models equipped with manual air conditioning controls. The included harness pigtail helps restore a secure electrical connection where the original connector has been overheated or corroded, supporting reliable blower motor operation in the front HVAC system.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Blower motor only working on certain speed settings
  • No cabin airflow from the front HVAC blower
  • Intermittent fan operation caused by heat-damaged resistor circuits
  • Corroded or overheated connector terminals at the resistor plug
  • Electrical resistance issues in manual climate control blower circuits

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify manual air conditioning control equipment before ordering. This resistor kit mounts in the front HVAC location and uses a 2-hole mounting pattern. The harness pigtail is included for connector repair, and the package also contains butt connectors and instructions for the wiring repair portion of the job. Confirm terminal style, connector gender, and wire count against the original part before installation.
