Get your climate-control fan blowing at every speed again with the Beck/Arnley HVAC Blower Motor Resistor, MPN 204-0090. This blower motor resistor drops in as a direct-fit replacement across a range of Hyundai and Kia models, including the 2010-2015 Hyundai Tucson, 2016-2017 Hyundai Veloster, 2010-2013 Kia Forte, 2010-2013 Kia Forte Koup, 2012-2017 and 2005 Kia Rio, 2004-2006 Kia Spectra, 2005-2006 Kia Spectra5, and 2011-2016 Kia Sportage — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine-level fitment.
The resistor sits in the blower circuit and provides the necessary resistance to set the fan's lower speeds; when it fails, the blower often works on only one speed (commonly high) or drops certain speeds entirely. If a failed resistor is the cause of that symptom, this part replaces it.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does this blower motor resistor do?
It adds resistance to the blower motor circuit to set the fan's lower and mid speeds. The fan draws through it on those settings, giving you the range between off and high.
Why is my heater fan only working on high?
A common sign of a failed blower resistor is losing the low and mid fan speeds while high still works. If the resistor is the cause, replacing it with 204-0090 addresses that.
Which vehicles does MPN 204-0090 fit?
It fits applications such as the 2010-2015 Hyundai Tucson, 2016-2017 Veloster, 2010-2013 Kia Forte and Forte Koup, 2012-2017 and 2005 Rio, 2004-2006 Spectra, 2005-2006 Spectra5, and 2011-2016 Sportage. Check the Buyer's Guide tab.
What interchange numbers does this part replace?
It cross-references RU1438, 984569, 971281M000, 971282D200, RU749, and 4P1715. Matching one of these to your original part helps confirm the correct replacement.
Is this a direct-fit replacement?
Yes. Beck/Arnley builds it to match OE form, fit and function for the listed applications, so it installs as a direct replacement for the original resistor.
