Get your climate-control fan speeds back under control with the Dorman - OE Solutions HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit 973-401. A blower motor resistor regulates the current sent to the blower motor so the fan can run at each selectable speed; when the original overheats or corrodes, one or more fan speeds can stop working. This kit installs as a direct-fit replacement across a broad range of GM vehicles, including the 2008-2020 Buick Enclave, 2007-2020 Cadillac Escalade, 2007-2017 Chevrolet Equinox, 2009-2020 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2008-2020 GMC Acadia — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 65 applications and the front/rear position cataloged for each.

  • Complete kit: ships with one blower motor resistor plus a harness pigtail — the wiring essential to most of these repairs.
  • Harness & connectors: 17-inch, 5-wire harness with blade-style male terminals and a female connector, plus 8 butt connectors and 2 pigtail connectors.
  • Mounting: two mounting holes; mounting hardware is included. No gasket or seal is included.
  • Direct replacement: made to perform like the original equipment, so if a failed resistor is the cause, it restores blower-speed control on the listed vehicles.
