Four Seasons HVAC Blower Motor Resistor P/N:20417
Designed to give your heater and A/C blower its full range of fan speeds, the Four Seasons HVAC Blower Motor Resistor / Switch 20097 reduces the current sent to the blower motor so the fan settings can run the blower at different speeds. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1993-2002 Toyota Corolla and the 1998-1999 Chevrolet Prizm, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. The part is cataloged under both names, HVAC blower motor resistor and switch.
Four Seasons draws on more than 50 years of mobile A/C experience, and it engineers and tests its products with years of trouble-free operation as the goal.
A blower that runs on some speeds but not others, such as only on the highest setting, or a fan that does not run at the lower settings, are signs this part may need replacing. A blower switch, the wiring or the motor itself can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the circuit before you replace anything. If a failed resistor is the cause, the 20097 replaces it.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is this a brake light switch for the 1993-2002 Toyota Corolla?
No. The 20097 is an HVAC blower motor resistor, cataloged under both the resistor and switch names. It sets the blower fan speeds and has no role in the brake lights.
What does an HVAC blower motor resistor do?
It reduces the current sent to the blower motor so that each fan setting on the heater and A/C control runs the blower at its own speed.
What are the signs a blower motor resistor may need replacing?
The blower may work only on some speeds, such as only the highest setting, or not run at the lower settings. A switch, wiring or motor fault can cause the same signs, so diagnose the circuit first.
What connectors does the 20097 use?
It has OE-style connectors and quality contacts intended to keep proper conductivity. Follow the vehicle service information for the resistor's location and the installation steps.
Which vehicles does the Four Seasons 20097 fit?
It fits many vehicles, including the 1993-2002 Toyota Corolla and the 1998-1999 Chevrolet Prizm. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
