When the cabin fan works on only one speed or stops blowing altogether, a burnt-out resistor may be the reason, and the Dorman blower motor resistor, part number 973-160, is a direct replacement built to match the operation and performance of the original equipment. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2007-2012 Jeep Compass, 2007-2012 Jeep Patriot and 2009-2010 Dodge Journey. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
The resistor controls how much current reaches the blower motor, and that is what lets the heating and air-conditioning system run the fan at its different speeds. If a failed resistor is behind your fan problem, this unit replaces it.
- Direct replacement: designed to match the original part's fit, function and performance on the listed vehicles.
- Targets fan-speed faults: intended for a fan that runs on only one speed or not at all, when the resistor is the cause.
- Thoroughly tested: examined and validated to perform safely and effectively.
- Quality oversight: backed by a team of engineers and inspectors in the United States.
A failed blower motor, fan switch or wiring can produce the same symptoms. Diagnose the cause before replacing the resistor.
