Standard Ignition RU-818 HVAC Blower Motor Resistor

Overview of Standard Ignition HVAC Blower Motor Resistor RU-818

The Standard Ignition HVAC Blower Motor Resistor RU-818 is designed to regulate the blower motor speeds in select BMW models. This electronic coil resistor ensures precise control of your vehicle's HVAC blower motor, providing consistent airflow and temperature control.

• Bolt-on attachment method for secure installation
• Electronic coil type resistor for reliable performance
• Black and gray color finish with plastic and metal housing
• Rectangular female connector with 2 connector cavities
• Supports 3 to 5 blower motor speeds with 3 switch positions
• Male blade terminals, 6 in total, for electrical connections
• No wiring harness or mounting brackets included

Detailed Product Description

The RU-818 blower motor resistor from Standard Ignition is engineered to fit a wide range of BMW vehicles, including popular models such as the 228i, 320i, 328i, 330i, 335i, 340i, 428i, 430i, 435i, 440i, M2, M3, M4, and i8 variants. This resistor controls the blower motor speeds by adjusting electrical resistance, enabling 3 to 5 speed settings depending on the vehicle's HVAC system. The bolt-on design allows for straightforward replacement without the need for additional mounting hardware.

Constructed with a durable plastic and metal housing, the RU-818 resistor features a black and gray finish that withstands heat and vibration within the HVAC system. The rectangular female connector with two cavities and six male blade terminals ensures a secure and stable electrical connection. This part does not include a wiring harness, so it connects directly to the vehicle's existing wiring.
