HVAC Blower Motor Resistor for Subaru and Suzuki

Global Parts 1712798 is an HVAC blower motor resistor for vehicles with manual air conditioning control. It is used in blower speed circuits where the resistor pack regulates fan output for consistent cabin airflow. This application also covers select Subaru Impreza and Suzuki XL-7 fitments.

Key Features

  • HVAC blower motor resistor for manual AC systems
  • Direct fit application for 2001-2008 Subaru Impreza, blower motor resistor; manual AC
  • Rear-position fitment for 2003 Suzuki XL-7
  • Global Parts part number 1712798
  • Cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 973-130 for the same application

Product Details

Global Parts 1712798 is built for blower motor speed control in HVAC systems that use a resistor-based fan circuit. It serves as a replacement for select Subaru Impreza models from 2001 through 2008 with manual AC, and for the 2003 Suzuki XL-7 in the rear position. The part number 1712798 is also listed with interchange references including Eastern Catalytic 20389 and OE-style cross-reference 973-130.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

  • Blower fan works only on certain speeds
  • HVAC fan stays on one speed
  • No cabin airflow from the blower motor on resistor-controlled settings
  • Intermittent blower operation caused by a failed resistor pack
  • Loss of proper fan speed control in manual AC systems

Installation Notes

Before installation, make sure electrical components are clean and free of debris and moisture, as noted by the manufacturer. Verify the vehicle uses the correct HVAC configuration and confirm connector condition before replacing the resistor. This part fits 2001-2008 Subaru Impreza, blower motor resistor; manual AC, and fits 2003 Suzuki XL-7, rear.
