Standard Ignition S2456 HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Connector

HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Connector for Mazda and Ford

Standard Ignition S2456 is an HVAC blower motor resistor connector built for select Mazda and Ford applications that use a 2-terminal female connection. It features a black plastic rectangle housing with brass bullet terminals and a 12-volt, 12-gauge two-wire harness for service replacement work.

Key Features

• Female HVAC blower motor resistor connector with rectangle housing
• Black plastic body with brass contact terminal material
• 2-terminal female design with bullet terminals
• Push-on attachment method for straightforward connection
• 12-volt electrical rating with 12-gauge wiring
• Wiring harness included with 6.25-inch length
• Splice connectors included for repair-style installation
• Standard Ignition S2456 cross-references to CONA555 and EC2357 for the same application

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition S2456 is a replacement HVAC electrical connector used at the blower motor resistor circuit on select Mazda MPV, B2200, B2600, 626, MX-6, 323, RX-7, and B2000 models, as well as the Ford Probe. This part number is a direct service-style connector for vehicles that require a 2-terminal female configuration, and it is listed across 1986-1998 model years depending on application. Use Standard Ignition S2456 when the original connector body, terminals, or harness end at the blower resistor has heat damage, corrosion, or broken terminal retention.

Common Repair Uses

• Restores a damaged blower motor resistor connector on Mazda and Ford HVAC systems
• Replaces melted or heat-affected terminal ends at the resistor plug
• Addresses intermittent blower speed operation caused by poor terminal contact
• Helps correct loose, corroded, or broken female terminal connections
• Supports repair of wiring damage near the HVAC resistor circuit

Installation Notes

Match the original connector style, terminal count, and wire gauge before installation. This part uses a push-on attachment method and a 2-wire harness layout, so the existing circuit should be inspected for heat damage, corrosion, and brittle insulation before splicing. Confirm the vehicle’s blower resistor connector orientation and repair any damaged wiring back to clean copper for a reliable electrical connection.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition S2456 is built as a replacement electrical connector for HVAC service work and is specified with brass terminals, a plastic housing, and application-based fitment data for select Mazda and Ford vehicles. The part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
