Detailed Description

This Universal Air blower resistor is built for vehicles that use resistor-based fan speed control in the HVAC system. The SW11242C serves as a replacement for the original blower motor resistor on select Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, Honda Insight, and Acura EL models, helping restore proper blower speed selection through the cabin control switch. This part cross-references OE number 79330S10A42 for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Help Resolve

• Blower motor works on only one speed
• Fan speeds are intermittent or inconsistent
• HVAC blower does not respond to speed changes
• Cabin airflow is reduced because lower speeds no longer function
• Resistor failure after heat-related electrical wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original resistor connector, mounting location, and vehicle application before installation. Inspect the blower motor and related wiring for heat damage or corrosion, since those conditions can contribute to repeat resistor failure. Confirm fitment for the exact year and model listed before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Universal Air SW11242C is a replacement HVAC blower motor resistor for the listed Honda and Acura applications. Use the OE reference and vehicle fitment details to confirm the correct part for your repair.
