(You save)
Designed for drivers whose cabin fan is stuck on one speed or has stopped entirely, the Dorman blower motor resistor, part number 973-178, is a front resistor that helps set the speed of the blower motor so air moves through the heating and cooling system at the setting you choose. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2006-2014 Hyundai Sonata, 2007-2013 Hyundai Elantra and 2011-2019 Kia Sorento. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Direct replacement: Designed to match the original equipment's fit, function, operation and performance on the listed applications.
Addresses a burnt-out resistor: If a failed resistor is why your fan runs on only one speed or not at all, this unit replaces it and is intended to bring back proper heating and cooling operation.
Thoroughly tested: Examined and validated to perform safely and effectively.
Quality backing: Supported by a team of engineers and inspectors in the United States.
A fan that will not change speed can also come from a faulty switch, damaged wiring or a worn blower motor. Confirm the resistor is the cause before you replace it. This part is sold as the front blower motor resistor for the listed applications.
This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
RU1346, 20424, 971283K000, RU656, JA1601
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work as a Kia Sorento blower motor resistor?
Yes. It is listed for the 2011-2019 Kia Sorento. Check the Buyer's Guide tab with your vehicle details to confirm the fit.
Is this the right blower motor resistor for a 2011 Hyundai Sonata?
Yes. The 2011 model year falls within its 2006-2014 Hyundai Sonata listing, and it also fits the 2007-2013 Hyundai Elantra.
What does a Dorman HVAC blower motor resistor do?
It helps control the speed of the blower motor, so the fan moves air through the heating and cooling system at the speed you select.
What are signs the blower motor resistor may need replacing?
A fan that runs on only one speed or does not run at all can come from a failed resistor. A switch, wiring or the blower motor can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing.
Is part 973-178 a front or rear unit, and is it tested?
It is cataloged as the front blower motor resistor for the listed applications. It is examined and validated to perform safely and effectively.
