Dorman 973-5092 HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit

Dorman 973-5092 HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit

Dorman 973-5092 is an HVAC blower motor resistor kit that replaces an overheated or corroded original resistor and restores blower speed control on the affected vehicle application. It includes the resistor and harness pigtail needed for a proper electrical repair.

Key Features

• HVAC blower motor resistor kit for blower speed circuit repair
• Includes a replacement resistor and harness pigtail
• Blade-style terminals with a male connector and male terminal design
• 4-wire harness with 17-inch wiring harness length
• 3 connectors, 3 terminals, and 6 mounting holes for application-specific service
• Package contents: 1 blower motor resistor kit with harness

Detailed Description

This Dorman HVAC blower motor resistor kit is built for vehicles that have lost one or more blower speeds due to heat damage, corrosion, or connector wear at the resistor circuit. Part number 973-5092 is a direct electrical service solution for restoring cabin fan operation when the original resistor and pigtail connection have deteriorated. It is a practical choice for HVAC blower motor resistor replacement on make/model-specific applications where the factory connector has been affected by excess resistance or terminal damage. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Intermittent or inoperative blower fan speeds
• HVAC fan operation limited to one speed
• Heat-damaged resistor terminals
• Corroded or loose electrical connections at the blower resistor
• Cabin airflow problems caused by failed blower speed control

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the connector, terminals, and surrounding wiring before installation. If the original resistor overheated, check for melted plastic, corrosion, or damaged terminals in the HVAC connector path before installing the new resistor and harness pigtail. Confirm connector style, terminal type, and mounting-hole layout match the vehicle before service. Fits should be verified by application details for the specific vehicle, including the exact make/model and HVAC connector configuration. Fits 2006-2011 Honda Civic, front right is not listed for this part; use the confirmed vehicle application data supplied by the catalog when matching Dorman 973-5092 to a vehicle.

Quality Assurance

Dorman supplies replacement electrical components for service repairs where the original HVAC resistor circuit has failed from heat or corrosion. Part number 973-5092 is built as a service replacement kit with the resistor and harness pigtail needed for the repair path.
