$49.99

Description

Control heater and A/C fan speeds with the Dorman blower motor resistor 973-006, a direct-fit replacement for the front blower resistor in the 1996-2005 Chevrolet Astro and 1996-2005 GMC Safari. This Dorman - OE Solutions part is designed to match the operation and performance of the original equipment.

Direct replacement: Engineered to match the original resistor's fit, function and performance on the listed applications.
Fan speed control: Controls the current reaching the blower motor so the fan can run at its different speed settings. If a burnt-out resistor is why your fan runs on only one speed or not at all, this unit replaces it.
Thoroughly tested: Examined and validated to perform safely and effectively.
Trustworthy quality: Supported by a team of engineers and inspectors in the United States.

Signs this part may need replacing include a blower that works on only some settings, a fan that runs on only one speed, or no airflow from the vents at any setting. A worn blower motor, a faulty switch or damaged wiring can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the system before replacing the resistor. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete application details.
