How It Works

This resistor is used in the HVAC blower circuit to regulate blower motor operation on automatic A/C systems. On modern vehicles, the ECM coordinates A/C system control; on earlier designs, related electrical switching functions were used to shut the compressor off and help prevent compressor damage. Global Parts 1712212 is built for the listed Ford Explorer, Explorer Sport, Explorer Sport Trac, and Mercury Mountaineer applications.

This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 973-567 for the same application.

Common Symptoms It Can Address

• Blower motor only works on certain fan speeds
• No cabin airflow from the HVAC vents
• Intermittent blower operation
• HVAC fan speed control loss on automatic A/C systems
• Electrical control issues in the blower circuit

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle uses automatic A/C before ordering. Match the part number 1712212 and confirm the connector and mounting style against the original component before installation. For best results, inspect the blower motor and related wiring for heat damage or corrosion before replacing the resistor.
