Four Seasons HVAC Blower Motor Resistor P/N:20461
Help restore control of the rear blower's fan speeds with the Four Seasons HVAC Blower Motor Resistor 20297, which sets each fan speed by adding resistance to the rear blower motor circuit. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2005 Chevrolet Venture, 2001-2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette, and 2001-2006 Pontiac Montana.
A blower motor resistor drops the current feeding the rear blower motor so the fan can run at lower speeds; the higher settings pass more current, while high typically bypasses the resistor. When the resistor fails, the rear blower often works on only one or two speeds or stops responding on some settings. If a failed resistor is the cause, this unit replaces it.
This is the rear unit, controlling the rear blower motor. Also cataloged under the Switch part type.

What does the Four Seasons 20297 do?
It's a rear HVAC blower motor resistor that sets the fan speeds by adding resistance to the rear blower motor circuit, so the fan can run at lower speeds. High speed typically bypasses the resistor.
Is this the right Venture switch for a 2001-2005 Chevrolet Venture?
Yes — it's listed for the 2001-2005 Chevrolet Venture, plus the 2001-2006 Pontiac Montana and 2001-2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
What are signs this resistor may need replacing?
The rear blower may work on only one or two speeds, or stop responding on some settings. Diagnose the cause first, since wiring or the switch can produce similar symptoms.
Does it use the factory connector?
It's built with OE-style connectors and quality contacts for proper conductivity, so it plugs into the existing rear HVAC harness on the listed applications.
Is this a front or rear part?
This is the rear unit, controlling the rear HVAC blower motor speeds on the listed applications.
