Universal Air SW11293C HVAC Blower Motor Resistor - Rear

Rear HVAC Blower Resistor for Astro and Safari

Universal Air SW11293C is a rear HVAC blower motor resistor for select Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari applications. It is used in rear climate control systems to regulate blower motor speed and restore proper fan operation.

Key Features

• Brand: Universal Air Blower Resistor line
• Part number: SW11293C
• Rear HVAC blower motor resistor for rear-position applications
• Fits 1992-2005 Chevrolet Astro, rear

Detailed Description

The Universal Air SW11293C blower resistor is built for rear HVAC systems in Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari vans. If the rear fan only works on certain speeds, stops responding, or behaves inconsistently, this resistor is a direct service part for the rear blower circuit. The Universal Air Blower Resistor line focuses on HVAC electrical control components for vehicle climate systems, and SW11293C is listed for rear-position use in the applications shown.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Rear blower motor speed loss in a Chevrolet Astro
• Rear fan only operating on one or two speeds in a GMC Safari
• Intermittent rear HVAC blower operation
• Rear climate control electrical resistance failure
• Auxiliary rear A/C blower control service on 1996-2005 GMC Safari models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear HVAC system configuration before installation and match the vehicle year, make, model, and position to the fitment list. Inspect the blower motor connector and surrounding wiring for heat damage or corrosion before replacing the resistor, since damaged terminals can affect the new part’s performance. Confirm the rear blower motor itself is operating correctly, as a failing motor can overload the resistor circuit.

Quality Assurance

Universal Air identifies SW11293C as part of its Blower Resistor product line for HVAC service applications. Confirm fitment against the listed rear applications for Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari before installation.
