Detailed Product Description

The Dorman 973-555 blower motor resistor kit is engineered to replace faulty or worn blower motor resistors in Mercury Quest and Nissan Villager vehicles. The kit includes a wiring harness with a 6-inch length, providing sufficient reach for installation without excess slack. The harness contains four wires and a single female connector designed to mate with the vehicle’s male terminals, which are blade-type for a secure and corrosion-resistant connection. Four mounting holes allow for stable resistor placement, although mounting hardware is not included and should be sourced separately. This kit also comes with three butt connectors to facilitate proper wire splicing and ensure a durable electrical connection.
