HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit for Saturn
Dorman 973-512 is an HVAC blower motor resistor kit that replaces a failed original resistor and the damaged connector pigtail on select Saturn vehicles. It is built for Saturn SC1, SC2, SL, SL1, SL2, SW1, SW2, and SC applications where heat damage or corrosion has affected blower speed control.
Key Features
- Includes a blower motor resistor and wire harness pigtail for a direct repair approach
- Uses a 4-wire, 4-terminal layout with blade terminals and a female connector
- Harness length measures 6 inches for connector replacement work
- Mounts with 2 holes; mounting hardware is not included
- Designed for Saturn HVAC blower motor resistor replacement on confirmed applications
- Part number 973-512 cross-references DR764 and RU646 for the same application
Detailed Description
This Dorman HVAC blower motor resistor kit addresses common electrical failure points in the blower speed circuit by replacing both the resistor and the connector pigtail. It is a practical repair for overheated or corroded OE resistor connections, helping restore proper blower motor speed operation in Saturn SC1, SC2, SL, SL1, SL2, SW1, SW2, and SC models across the listed years. The 973-512 kit is built around a female connector with male blade terminals and a 4-wire configuration to match the original style connection on supported vehicles.
What It Helps Fix
- Blower motor only working on certain speeds
- No blower operation caused by a failed resistor circuit
- Heat-damaged resistor connector terminals
- Corrosion at the HVAC blower motor resistor plug
- Intermittent cabin fan speed control
Installation Notes and Tips
- Verify the connector style and terminal count before installation
- Inspect the blower motor connector for heat damage before reconnecting
- Mounting hardware is not included, so reuse or source the required fasteners as needed
- Confirm fitment by year and model: Fits 1993-2002 Saturn SC1, Fits 1993-2002 Saturn SC2, Fits 1991-2002 Saturn SL, Fits 1991-2002 Saturn SL1, Fits 1991-2002 Saturn SL2, Fits 1993-2001 Saturn SW2, Fits 1993-1999 Saturn SW1, and Fits 1991-1992 Saturn SC
