HVAC Blower Motor Resistor for GM Vans and Crossovers

The SKP HVAC Blower Motor Resistor SK973180 restores blower speed control in the vehicle climate system. It is a direct-fit replacement built to meet or exceed OEM specifications for quality and performance.

Compatible With 2001-2005 Pontiac Aztek, 2002-2005 Buick Rendezvous, 2001-2005 Pontiac Montana, and 2001-2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette.

  • Direct replacement for the original blower motor resistor

  • Built to OEM-level fit and performance standards
  • Matches common OE cross-reference applications for service replacement
  • Fits multiple GM platforms with confirmed year-specific coverage

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

SKP manufactures this resistor to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit and performance. The SK973180 is intended as a direct-fit service replacement for the original HVAC blower motor resistor.
