Universal Air SW11498C Blower Resistor for Mazda 3

Universal Air SW11498C is an HVAC blower motor resistor for vehicles equipped with Automatic Temperature Control. It is listed for 2010-2013 Mazda 3 applications and is used to restore proper blower motor speed control in the cabin HVAC system.

Key Features

  • HVAC blower motor resistor for automatic temperature control systems
  • Fits 2010-2013 Mazda 3, N/A
  • Direct-fit application for the listed vehicle range
  • Part number SW11498C for identification and ordering

Product Details

This Universal Air blower resistor is part of the Blower Resistor product line and is built for HVAC systems that regulate fan speed through resistor-based control. In a 2010-2013 Mazda 3 with Automatic Temperature Control, the resistor helps manage blower output so the cabin fan responds correctly to selected settings. If you are searching for a Mazda 3 blower resistor, HVAC blower motor resistor, or SW11498C replacement, this part matches the listed application.

Common Symptoms It May Address

  • Blower motor works on only one speed
  • Fan speeds stop responding correctly
  • Intermittent cabin airflow control
  • HVAC fan output is inconsistent
  • Loss of proper automatic climate control blower operation

Installation Notes

Verify that the vehicle is a 2010-2013 Mazda 3 equipped with Automatic Temperature Control before ordering. Inspect the blower motor connector and related HVAC wiring during replacement, and confirm the resistor location matches the original unit. Part number SW11498C should be matched to the existing component and vehicle configuration.

Quality Assurance

Universal Air identifies this component under its Blower Resistor line for HVAC service applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
