Product Details and Specifications

The RU-304 blower motor resistor from Standard Ignition is designed to fit a range of General Motors vehicles, including Buick models like the LeSabre and Park Avenue, Cadillac DeVille and Eldorado, Oldsmobile 88 and 98, as well as Pontiac Bonneville and Riviera. This resistor controls the blower motor speeds by regulating electrical current, enabling 3 to 5 speed settings depending on the vehicle's HVAC system.

Featuring a bolt-on attachment method, the resistor mounts securely using the included mounting bracket(s). It connects via two female connectors with four cavities, accommodating blade-type male terminals. The connector shapes are a combination of round and square, ensuring proper fitment with the vehicle's wiring harness (note: wiring harness not included). Hardware and installation instructions are not included, so professional installation or reference to a service manual is recommended.

It is commonly used to address HVAC blower motor issues such as:

  • Blower motor only working on high speed
  • Inconsistent or no blower motor speeds
  • HVAC fan speed control failure
  • Intermittent blower motor operation
  • Reduced airflow from vents

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires removal of the old blower motor resistor and mounting the RU-304 using the bolt-on method with the included bracket(s).
