Technical Details and Specifications

The Dorman 984-573 blower motor resistor is constructed with two bolt holes to ensure a stable and secure installation within the HVAC system. It features a single rectangular connector with three male blade terminals, designed to interface directly with the vehicle’s wiring harness. This resistor does not come with a wiring harness or mounting hardware, so existing components must be reused during installation. The blade terminal type and connector gender are male, which aligns with the OEM specifications for Kia Rondo, Spectra, and Spectra5 models. This part is engineered to meet the electrical and mechanical requirements necessary for proper blower motor speed regulation.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

This blower motor resistor is used to regulate the speed of the HVAC blower motor in Kia vehicles. It addresses several common issues, including:

• Blower motor only operating on high speed
• Intermittent or no airflow from the HVAC vents
• Inconsistent blower motor speeds
• Complete failure of the blower motor resistor circuit
• HVAC system overheating due to resistor malfunction

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Dorman 984-573 blower motor resistor requires removal of the old resistor from the HVAC housing. Ensure the vehicle’s ignition is off and the battery is disconnected before beginning. The two bolt holes allow for straightforward mounting using existing hardware. Connect the rectangular male connector with three blade terminals securely to the vehicle’s wiring harness. Since mounting hardware and wiring harness are not included, retain original components for reinstallation. Follow the included instructions carefully to avoid damage to the resistor or HVAC system.
