Detailed Product Description

The RU-96 blower motor resistor by Standard Ignition is engineered to replace faulty or worn resistors in HVAC systems of Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles such as the Acclaim, Daytona, Imperial, LeBaron, Neon, New Yorker, Prowler, Shadow, Spirit, and Sundance models. This resistor controls the electrical current to the blower motor, enabling multiple fan speeds between 3 and 5 settings. It features a screw attachment method for a secure fit and uses four male blade terminals to connect directly to the vehicle’s wiring harness. Note that this part does not include connectors, wiring harnesses, mounting brackets, or installation hardware, so existing components must be reused or sourced separately.

Common Applications and Issues Resolved

• Restores proper blower motor speed control in Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth HVAC systems
• Eliminates blower motor stuck on one speed or no speed issues
• Fixes intermittent blower motor operation or failure to operate at certain speeds
• Addresses overheating or electrical resistance problems in the blower motor circuit
• Improves overall HVAC system performance and passenger comfort

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure the vehicle is compatible: Chrysler, Dodge, or Plymouth models including Acclaim, Daytona, Imperial, LeBaron, Neon, New Yorker, Prowler, Shadow, Spirit, and Sundance
• Disconnect the battery before installation to prevent electrical shorts
• Remove the old blower motor resistor carefully, noting the screw attachment points
• Reuse existing connectors and wiring harnesses as this part does not include them
