Detailed Description
The Standard Ignition RU-796 is an HVAC blower motor resistor used to regulate blower fan speeds in the cabin climate system. This part is specified for 2002-2008 Mini Cooper models with climate control and is designed around a rectangular female connector, 4 blade terminals, and screw mounting. If your Mini Cooper blower only works on certain speeds or stops responding at lower settings, RU-796 is the replacement component to inspect.
This part cross-references URO 64111499122 for the same application.
Common Issues This Part Can Address
- Blower fan works on only one speed
- Lower fan speeds do not operate
- Intermittent cabin airflow control
- HVAC fan speed selector response loss
- Resistor failure in the climate control circuit
Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm the vehicle is a 2002-2008 Mini Cooper with climate control before ordering. Match the connector shape, terminal style, and mounting style to the original resistor for proper installation. Inspect the blower motor connector and surrounding HVAC wiring for heat damage before installing the new resistor, since excess current draw can shorten resistor life.
Quality Assurance
Standard Ignition supplies replacement electrical components for automotive HVAC systems, and RU-796 is built to meet the fitment and connection requirements listed for the application.
