Product Details and Specifications

The RU-898 blower motor resistor from Standard Ignition features a rectangular female connector designed to interface with your vehicle's existing wiring harness. It includes five blade-type male terminals arranged to support multiple blower speeds, typically between three and five settings. The resistor mounts securely using screws, ensuring a stable connection without the need for additional hardware or brackets. This part does not include a wiring harness or mounting brackets, so it is intended for direct replacement in compatible Ford C-Max and Focus HVAC systems.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

This HVAC blower motor resistor is used to regulate the speed of the blower motor in your vehicle's heating and cooling system. It addresses issues such as:

  • Blower motor stuck on a single speed
  • Intermittent blower operation or failure to operate at certain speeds
  • Complete loss of blower motor function
  • Inconsistent airflow from HVAC vents
  • Electrical resistance failure causing HVAC system malfunctions

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Standard Ignition RU-898 resistor requires removal of the old resistor from the HVAC housing, typically secured by screws. Ensure the connector is properly aligned with the rectangular female connector and that all five blade terminals are fully seated. Since no wiring harness or mounting brackets are included, reuse existing hardware and wiring. Verify blower motor operation at all speeds after installation to confirm proper function.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Standard Ignition parts are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function. The RU-898 blower motor resistor undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure reliable performance in Ford C-Max and Focus vehicles. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed at the point of purchase, as they may vary by distributor.
