Bring every fan speed back with the Beck/Arnley HVAC Blower Motor Resistor 204-0083 (also written 2040083). This resistor meters the current flowing to the blower motor so the fan can run at each of its selectable speeds. It drops in as a direct replacement for the 2013-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL, 2016-2017 Hyundai Sonata, 2021-2023 Kia K5, 2011-2020 Kia Optima, 2019-2021 Kia Sedona, 2011-2016 Kia Sorento, and 2010-2019 Kia Soul, and is cataloged for both front and rear HVAC positions. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
When a blower motor resistor fails, you often lose one or more of the lower fan speeds while high speed may still work — signs this part may need replacing. If a failed resistor is the cause, this unit replaces it; diagnose the circuit first, since other components can produce the same symptoms.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does the blower motor resistor do?
It meters the current sent to the HVAC blower motor, allowing the fan to operate at its different selectable speeds.
What are signs this resistor may need replacing?
Losing one or more lower fan speeds while high speed still works, or intermittent blower operation, can point to a failed resistor. Diagnose the circuit to confirm the cause.
