Detailed Description

Global Parts 1712453 is an HVAC blower motor resistor used to control fan speed in vehicles equipped with automatic temperature control. This component is a practical replacement when the blower works on only certain speeds or stops responding as expected. It cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 973-061 for the same application.

Use this part for select Ford Taurus and Ford Sable models, Mercury Sable and Mercury Villager applications, and Lincoln Continental or Lincoln Mark VIII vehicles listed in the fitment data. The part number 1712453 is also useful when searching for a replacement HVAC blower motor resistor for ATC-equipped Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln systems.

Common Issues This Part May Resolve

  • Blower motor operates on only one or a few fan speeds
  • HVAC fan stops working intermittently
  • No cabin airflow from the blower motor at certain settings
  • Erratic blower speed control from the climate system
  • Failed resistor causing loss of manual fan speed response

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, make sure electrical components are free of debris and moisture, as noted by the manufacturer. Inspect the connector and surrounding HVAC housing for heat damage, corrosion, or contamination before installing the new resistor. Confirm the vehicle uses the ATC configuration and match the fitment details for your exact year, make, model, and position.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts supplies this HVAC blower motor resistor as a replacement electrical component for the listed applications. Verify fitment against the vehicle’s HVAC system before installation to ensure proper operation.
