Replace an overheated or corroded factory resistor with this Dorman blower motor resistor, part number 973-088, from Dorman - OE Solutions. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2000 Kia Sportage (all engines), with one resistor used per vehicle. The resistor controls how much current reaches the blower motor, which is how the HVAC system sets its fan speeds.
Resistor plus pigtail: This Dorman HVAC blower motor resistor kit pairs a new resistor with a pigtail connector. You can replace a heat-damaged or corroded connector at the same time as the resistor.
Direct replacement: Designed to directly replace the original equipment on the listed application.
What's in the kit: One blower motor resistor, one pigtail connector and four butt connectors for splicing the pigtail into the vehicle wiring. Mounting hardware is not included.
Connector details: Four male blade terminals and one female connector.
Built like the original: Made to perform like the original equipment and intended to return the HVAC blower to normal operation. It is backed by a US-based team of engineers and quality specialists.
Signs the resistor may need replacing include a blower that runs only on high, missing fan speeds, or a melted or corroded connector. These symptoms can also come from the blower motor or the wiring, so check those as well. If a failed resistor is the cause, this Dorman blower motor resistor kit replaces it. Country of origin: China.
Does this blower motor resistor fit the 1998-2000 Kia Sportage?
Yes. It is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2000 Kia Sportage with all engines, using one resistor per vehicle. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
What does a blower motor resistor do?
It limits the current sent to the blower motor, which lets the HVAC system run the fan at different speeds.
What comes in the box?
One blower motor resistor, one pigtail connector and four butt connectors. Mounting hardware is not included.
What are signs of a failing blower motor resistor?
Common signs are a blower that works only on high, one or more fan speeds that don't work, or a burnt or corroded connector. Diagnose the cause first, because the motor or wiring can also fail.
Why does the kit include a pigtail connector?
An overheated or corroded resistor can damage its connector. The included pigtail and butt connectors let you replace that connector along with the resistor instead of reusing the damaged one.
