Dorman - OE Solutions HVAC Blower Motor Resistor P/N:973-101
Help bring your heating and cooling fan back to its normal speed settings with the Dorman blower motor resistor, part number 973-027. It is a direct replacement for a burnt-out resistor and is designed to match the operation and performance of the original equipment. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2005-2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2008-2013 Jeep Liberty and 2004-2009 Dodge Durango. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
A blower motor resistor controls the current that reaches the blower motor, which lets the fan run at its lower speed settings instead of only one fixed speed. This part is cataloged for both front and rear positions.
Signs this part may need replacing: the blower works on only one setting, some fan speeds no longer respond, or the fan does not run at all. Other components can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the resistor.
Will this Jeep Grand Cherokee blower resistor fit my 2005-2008 model?
Yes. Dorman 973-027 is listed for the 2005-2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
Does it also fit the 2008-2013 Jeep Liberty and 2004-2009 Dodge Durango?
Yes. It is listed for the 2008-2013 Jeep Liberty and the 2004-2009 Dodge Durango, along with many other vehicles shown in the Buyer's Guide tab.
What does an HVAC blower motor resistor do?
It controls the current reaching the blower motor, which lets the fan run at its different speed settings for heating and cooling.
What are signs my blower motor resistor may need replacing?
Common signs are a fan that runs on only one speed or does not run at all. A bad motor, switch or wiring can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first.
Is the Dorman 973-027 tested?
Yes. Dorman states the resistor is examined and validated to perform safely and effectively, and it is backed by a team of engineers and inspectors in the United States.
