Dorman - OE Solutions HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit P/N:973-521

$60.99

Description

Replace an overheated or corroded blower speed resistor with the Dorman hvac blower motor resistor kit, part number 973-521, which pairs a new resistor with a harness pigtail to take the place of the original equipment resistor. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2004-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, 2003-2009 Dodge Ram 2500 and 2003-2010 Dodge Ram 3500. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

The blower motor resistor regulates the current sent to the blower motor so the HVAC fan can run at its lower speed settings. Signs it may need replacing include a fan that works only on the highest setting or skips one or more speeds. If a failed resistor is the cause, this kit replaces it, and because the Dorman blower motor resistor ships with its own harness pigtail, the connector can be replaced at the same time.

Direct replacement: built to directly replace the original equipment resistor on the listed applications.
What's in the kit: a resistor and a harness pigtail, which Dorman notes is essential for most repairs.
OE-like performance: made to perform like original equipment and designed to bring back full HVAC operation when the resistor is at fault.
Quality backing: supported by Dorman's team of engineers and quality specialists in the USA.

Buyer's Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the Dorman blower motor resistor kit?

Kit 973-521 includes a blower motor resistor and a harness pigtail. Dorman notes the pigtail is essential for most repairs.

Which trucks does this resistor kit fit?

It fits many vehicles, including the 2004-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, 2003-2009 Dodge Ram 2500 and 2003-2010 Dodge Ram 3500. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for your exact vehicle.

What does a blower motor resistor do?

It regulates the current reaching the blower motor so the HVAC fan can run at the lower speed settings you select at the controls.

What are signs the blower motor resistor may need replacing?

Common signs include a fan that runs only on high or skips speeds. Diagnose the cause first, because switches, wiring or the motor itself can cause similar symptoms.

Is this a direct replacement for the original resistor?

Yes. Dorman designed it to directly replace the original equipment resistor on the listed applications. Follow the vehicle service information for installation.
