Dorman - OE Solutions HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit P/N:973-430

$16.99

Description

Replace an overheated or corroded blower motor resistor with the Dorman HVAC blower motor resistor kit, part number 973-430, which pairs a new resistor with a harness pigtail. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1977-1985 Chevrolet Impala, 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu and 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

The blower motor resistor controls the current sent to the HVAC blower motor, which is how the fan runs at its lower speed settings. When the original resistor overheats or corrodes, fan speeds can drop out. This kit is intended to replace that failed original equipment resistor. It is cataloged for the front position.

Direct replacement: designed to directly replace the original equipment resistor on the applications listed in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
Resistor and harness pigtail included: each kit supplies both the resistor and a harness pigtail, a combination needed for most repairs.
Built to perform like the original: made to work the way the original equipment does, helping return full HVAC fan operation when the old resistor is the fault.
Engineering support: backed by Dorman's team of engineers and quality specialists in the USA.

Buyer's Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Dorman blower motor resistor do?

It controls the current sent to the HVAC blower motor so the fan can run at its lower speed settings. This kit also includes a harness pigtail along with the resistor.

What comes in the Dorman blower motor resistor kit 973-430?

Each kit contains a resistor and a harness pigtail, the combination needed for most repairs of an overheated or corroded original equipment resistor.

What are signs a blower motor resistor may need replacing?

Common signs include a fan that runs only on high, missing speed settings, or no blower output at all. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the HVAC circuit before replacing parts.

Does it fit a 1977-1985 Chevrolet Impala?

Yes. The 973-430 is listed for the 1977-1985 Chevrolet Impala, the 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu and the 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your exact vehicle.

Is this a direct replacement for the original resistor?

Yes. Dorman designed it to directly replace the original equipment resistor on the listed applications. Follow the vehicle service information for the removal and installation steps.
