Detailed Product Description

The Dorman 973-540 blower motor resistor kit is engineered to replace faulty resistors in the HVAC system of Honda Accord and Odyssey vehicles. The included wiring harness, measuring 6 inches in length, simplifies installation by providing a direct connection with 4 wires and a female connector that mates with the vehicle’s male terminals. The blade terminal type ensures a stable and corrosion-resistant connection, while the two mounting holes allow for proper securing of the resistor unit within the HVAC assembly. This kit does not include mounting hardware or gaskets, so existing hardware should be reused or sourced separately.
