Four Seasons catalogs this part as a switch and describes it as an HVAC Blower Motor Control Module. It is also listed as a blower motor resistor, so you may see it under any of these names. It sits in the blower motor circuit and sets how fast the front fan runs for heating, ventilation and A/C airflow.
- OE-style connectors: the electrical connectors are styled after the original equipment.
- Vehicle-specific applications: built for the listed vehicles, not as a universal part.
- Precision engineered for the listed applications.
- Mobile A/C experience: engineered and tested with years of trouble-free operation in mind, backed by more than 50 years of Four Seasons mobile A/C experience.
Signs this part may need replacing include a blower that runs on only some speeds, such as only the highest setting, a fan that won't change speed, or no airflow on certain settings. A failed blower motor, fuse, control switch or wiring can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the circuit before replacing.
