Detailed Product Overview
The SKP SK973180 is an HVAC blower motor resistor used to control fan speeds in the heating and air conditioning system. When the resistor fails, the blower may stop working on certain speeds or operate inconsistently. This replacement part is made for direct installation in the original location and supports proper airflow control in Buick Rendezvous, Pontiac Aztek, Pontiac Montana, and Oldsmobile Silhouette applications.
This part cross-references 973180 and RU50 for the same application.
Common Symptoms It Can Address
- Blower motor works on only one speed
- Fan speeds drop out intermittently
- No airflow from the vents on selected settings
- Climate control fan output becomes inconsistent
- Resistor failure causes loss of normal cabin airflow control
Installation Notes
Verify the connector style and original resistor location before installation. Inspect the blower motor and related wiring for heat damage or corrosion, since a failed resistor can be caused by excess current draw. Confirm vehicle year and model match the listed fitment before ordering.
Quality Assurance
