HVAC Blower Motor Resistor for GM Applications
Global Parts 1712701 is an HVAC blower motor resistor for select Buick, Chevrolet, and Oldsmobile vehicles from 1991-1996. It is used in systems without Automatic Temperature Control and supports proper blower speed control when the cabin fan no longer responds as expected.
Key Features
- HVAC blower motor resistor for manual temperature control systems
- Direct-fit replacement for select GM passenger cars and chassis applications
- Cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 973-073 and Four Seasons 20254 for the same application
- Part number 1712701 for catalog and fitment lookup
- Fits 1991-1996 Buick Roadmaster, 1991-1996 Chevrolet Caprice, and other listed GM applications
Detailed Description
Global Parts 1712701 is built for vehicles that use a blower motor resistor to regulate HVAC fan speeds. This part is listed for 1994-1996 Buick Century without Automatic Temperature Control, 1991-1996 Buick Roadmaster, 1991-1996 Chevrolet Caprice, 1994-1996 Chevrolet Impala, 1991-1994 Chevrolet Commercial Chassis, and 1991-1992 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser. The part number 1712701 is a direct reference for buyers searching by OE-style replacement number.
The manufacturer notes that electrical components should be clean and dry before installation, which helps reduce the risk of premature failure from debris or moisture in the HVAC housing.
Common Problems This Part Can Address
- Blower fan works only on certain speed settings
- HVAC fan stops responding at lower or higher speeds
- Resistor failure causing intermittent cabin airflow control
- Loss of blower motor speed regulation in manual HVAC systems
- Replacement need after corrosion or heat damage in the resistor circuit
Installation Notes and Tips
Before installing Global Parts 1712701, inspect the connector, wiring, and resistor cavity for heat damage, debris, and moisture. Confirm the vehicle uses a blower motor resistor and not an Automatic Temperature Control setup. Verify the application against the listed Buick, Chevrolet, and Oldsmobile fitment before installation.
