Replace an overheated or corroded original equipment resistor with the Dorman HVAC blower motor resistor kit, part number 973-400, which pairs a new resistor with a harness pigtail for a direct-fit repair on the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Chevrolet Classic and 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

The blower motor resistor sets the speeds of the heating and air-conditioning blower fan. If a failed resistor is the cause of a blower that runs only on high or skips settings, this kit replaces it along with its connector pigtail.

  • Direct replacement: this resistor and harness kit is built to take the place of the original equipment on the listed applications.
  • Resistor plus pigtail: each kit includes a resistor and a harness pigtail, which Dorman notes is essential for most repairs.
  • OE-style performance: made to perform like original equipment and intended to return the HVAC system to full operation.
  • Engineering support: backed by Dorman's team of engineers and quality specialists in the USA.
