Four Seasons HVAC Blower Motor Resistor P/N:20601
Manage front blower fan speed with the Four Seasons blower motor resistor / control module, part number 20716. It regulates the power sent to the front HVAC blower motor so the fan runs at the speed you select. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata, 2011-2015 Kia Optima and 2013-2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Four Seasons lists this HVAC blower motor resistor as an HVAC blower motor control module, so you may find it under either name. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
Signs this part may need replacing include a front blower that works on only some speed settings, a fan speed that will not change, or a blower that does not run at all. Diagnose the cause before you replace anything, because a failed blower motor, switch, fuse or wiring fault can cause the same symptoms. If the resistor / control module is the cause, part 20716 replaces it.
