Dorman 973-561 HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit
Dorman 973-561 is an HVAC blower motor resistor kit for restoring cabin fan speed control on select Honda applications. It includes a replacement resistor and harness pigtail to address heat damage, corrosion, or connector wear at the blower motor resistor circuit.
Key Features
- Direct replacement blower motor resistor kit for HVAC fan speed control
- Includes a 6-inch wiring harness with a female connector and male blade terminals
- 3-wire harness layout with 3 terminal positions and 2 mounting holes
- Package contents include the blower motor resistor, wire harness, and butt connectors
- Fits 2000-2006 Honda Insight, 1997-2001 Honda CR-V, and 1999-2000 Honda Civic
Detailed Description
This Dorman HVAC blower motor resistor kit is built to replace an overheated or corroded original resistor assembly on select Honda vehicles. Part number 973-561 is a practical repair solution when blower speeds stop working correctly because the resistor or connector has been heat damaged. It cross-references Standard Ignition RU1054 for the same application.
Use this kit when servicing HVAC blower motor resistor circuits on the Honda Insight, Honda CR-V, or Honda Civic. The included harness pigtail helps restore the electrical connection at the resistor location, while the blade-style terminals and 3-wire design match the original circuit layout on supported vehicles.
What It Helps Fix
- Blower motor only working on certain fan speeds
- No cabin airflow from the HVAC blower on selected settings
- Heat-damaged resistor connector terminals
- Corroded or burned wiring at the blower resistor plug
- Intermittent HVAC fan operation caused by electrical resistance at the connector
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify connector style, terminal count, and mounting hole layout before installation. Inspect the blower motor resistor connector and surrounding wiring for heat damage, then repair any damaged conductors before connecting the new harness. This part uses a female connector with male blade terminals and does not include mounting hardware or a gasket/seal.
Quality Assurance
Dorman replacement electrical components are engineered to address common failure points in original HVAC resistor circuits. Part number 973-561 is intended for direct service on the listed Honda applications and uses a repair-focused design with the resistor and harness pigtail included.
