About the Universal Air Blower Resistor Product Line

The Blower Resistor line from Universal Air focuses on providing dependable HVAC components that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This product line is tailored to ensure proper electrical resistance for blower motors, enabling multiple fan speed settings in vehicle climate control systems. The SW11361C is part of this line, offering a reliable solution for maintaining HVAC performance in Hyundai and Kia vehicles.

Product Details and Compatibility

The SW11361C blower motor resistor is engineered to fit a range of Hyundai and Kia models, including the Hyundai Elantra series (Elantra, Elantra Coupe, Elantra GT), Sonata, Optima, Santa Fe variants (Santa Fe, Santa Fe Sport, Santa Fe XL), and Kia Forte series (Forte, Forte5, Forte Koup), Sorento, and Sedona. This part regulates the electrical current to the blower motor, allowing the HVAC system to adjust fan speeds accurately. Using the correct blower resistor like the SW11361C helps prevent blower motor failure and inconsistent airflow.

Common Issues Resolved by This Blower Motor Resistor

  • Blower motor only works on one speed or does not change speeds
  • Intermittent or no airflow from HVAC vents
  • HVAC blower motor stuck on high speed
  • Inconsistent cabin temperature control
  • Electrical resistance failure causing blower motor malfunction

Installation Notes and Tips

When replacing the blower motor resistor SW11361C, ensure the vehicle’s ignition is off and the HVAC system is powered down. Locate the resistor near the blower motor housing, typically under the dashboard or behind the glove box depending on the model. Carefully disconnect the electrical connector before removing the old resistor. Install the new resistor securely and reconnect the wiring harness. Testing the blower motor speeds after installation is recommended to confirm proper operation.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

The Universal Air Blower Resistor SW11361C is manufactured to meet industry standards for durability and performance.
