Four Seasons HVAC Blower Motor Resistor P/N:20356
Take charge of cabin airflow with the Four Seasons HVAC Blower Motor Resistor / Switch, part number 20247. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2003 Mazda Protege and the 2002-2003 Mazda Protege5. The resistor works with the heater and A/C fan control to reduce the voltage sent to the blower motor, which is how the system produces its lower fan speeds. Four Seasons lists this part under both names, blower motor resistor and switch.
This part may need replacing if the blower runs on only some settings, for example only on high, or does not run at all on the lower speeds. The fan control, wiring or blower motor can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. If a failed resistor is the cause, the 20247 replaces it. Follow the vehicle service information when you install it.

It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2003 Mazda Protege and 2002-2003 Mazda Protege5. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
What does this 1999-2003 Mazda Protege switch do?
It is an HVAC blower motor resistor, also listed as a switch. It reduces the voltage sent to the blower motor so the heater and A/C fan can run at its lower speed settings.
What are signs the blower motor resistor may need replacing?
Signs include a blower that works on only some settings, such as only on high, or does not run at all on the lower speeds.
Does it use factory-style connectors?
Yes. Four Seasons builds the 20247 with OE-style connectors for the listed applications.
Should I diagnose the problem before installing it?
Yes. Lost fan speeds can also come from the fan control, wiring or blower motor, so confirm the cause first and follow the vehicle service information when you install it.
