Dorman - OE Solutions HVAC Blower Motor Resistor P/N:973-014
When a burnt-out resistor has left your cabin fan stuck on one speed, this Dorman blower motor resistor, part number 973-020, is a direct replacement designed to work like the original. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500, 1993-1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
This HVAC blower motor resistor controls the voltage sent to the blower motor, which lets the fan run at its different speed settings. If the original resistor has burned out, the fan may run on only one speed or stop working entirely. These are signs this part may need replacing.
Other faults in the blower circuit can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the resistor.

Is this a direct-fit Jeep Grand Cherokee blower motor resistor?
Yes. It is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 1993-1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Buyer's Guide tab shows the full fitment.
Does this Dodge Ram 1500 blower motor resistor also fit the Ram 2500?
Yes. It fits the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 and the 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500. The Buyer's Guide tab shows every listed application.
What are signs the blower motor resistor may need replacing?
A blower fan that works on only one speed setting or does not run at all can come from a burnt-out resistor. Other faults can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the blower circuit before replacing parts.
How has this resistor been tested?
Dorman states it is examined and validated to perform safely and effectively. It is backed by a team of engineers and inspectors in the United States.
