Dorman - OE Solutions HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit P/N:973-564
If a burned-out or corroded resistor is why your HVAC fan only runs on certain speeds, this Dorman hvac blower motor resistor kit (P/N 973-413) drops in to replace the original equipment unit. It fits a range of full-size Ford, Lincoln and Mercury sedans and wagons, including the 1992-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and 1987-1991 Ford LTD Crown Victoria — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A blower motor resistor controls fan speed by placing resistance in the blower motor circuit; when it overheats or corrodes, some or all fan settings can stop working. This Dorman blower motor resistor kit addresses that failure when the resistor is the cause.
