Global Parts 1712171 HVAC Blower Motor Resistor

HVAC Blower Motor Resistor for Acura and Honda

Global Parts 1712171 is an HVAC blower motor resistor for select Acura and Honda applications. It is used in systems that need blower speed control and direct A/C compressor shutdown logic on earlier vehicles, based on the vehicle’s HVAC control strategy.

• HVAC blower motor resistor for select Acura and Honda models
• Supports blower speed control in the HVAC system
• Used in systems where the ECM manages A/C operation on modern vehicles
• Applies to earlier systems that switch the compressor off directly to help prevent compressor failure
• Cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 973-084 and Four Seasons 20270 for the same application
