HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit for OE Repair

Dorman 973-5088 is an HVAC blower motor resistor kit that replaces an overheated or corroded original resistor on certain vehicles. It includes the resistor and a harness pigtail to restore blower speed control in the HVAC system.

Key Features

  • HVAC blower motor resistor kit for electrical connector repair
  • Includes a resistor and harness pigtail for the original equipment-style repair
  • Blade terminal design with 5 terminals and 1 connector
  • Male connector and male terminal configuration
  • 2 mounting holes for secure installation
  • Part number 973-5088 for service identification

Detailed Description

Use Dorman 973-5088 when the blower motor resistor has heat damage, corrosion, or connector wear that affects HVAC fan operation. This kit is built for vehicles that need a direct electrical repair at the resistor connection point, helping restore proper blower speed selection in the cabin HVAC system. It is a practical choice for common HVAC blower motor resistor replacement jobs on makes and models such as Honda Civic and similar applications where the original connector has been damaged. The part number 973-5088 is also referenced for service matching and catalog lookup.

This part cross-references 26-12445 and 351029781 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Solve

  • Blower motor only works on certain fan speeds
  • Intermittent HVAC fan operation
  • Heat-damaged resistor connector
  • Corroded or loose electrical terminals
  • Loss of cabin airflow control from resistor failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the resistor connector, terminals, and surrounding wiring before installation. Replace any overheated or corroded mating components so the new resistor can make a solid electrical connection. Confirm terminal count, connector gender, and mounting-hole layout match the original part before installation. The kit does not include mounting hardware, gasket, or seal.

Quality Assurance

Dorman supplies service replacement parts for OE-style repairs, and this kit is built to address resistor and connector damage in the HVAC blower circuit. Verify vehicle application by connector style and original resistor configuration before ordering.
