Help restore your blower's fan speeds 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 many vehicles, among them the 2016-2017 Hyundai Sonata, 2011-2020 Kia Optima and 2011-2016 Kia Sorento, and is cataloged for both front and rear HVAC positions. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and 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.
