Description

Take care of a failed blower resistor and its connector in one repair with the Dorman hvac blower motor resistor kit, part number 973-421. The kit pairs a replacement resistor with a harness pigtail to replace an overheated or corroded original equipment resistor. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500, 1993-1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

The blower motor resistor sets the lower fan speeds by limiting the current sent to the blower motor. If one or more fan settings stop working, the resistor may need replacing.

Direct replacement: This resistor and harness kit is designed to directly replace the original equipment on the listed applications.
Kit contents: Each kit comes with a resistor and a harness pigtail, which is essential for most repairs.
OE-like performance: Made to perform like original equipment. If a failed resistor is the cause of your fan-speed problem, it is intended to return normal HVAC blower operation.
Quality backing: Supported by Dorman's team of engineers and quality specialists in the USA.

With the new harness pigtail, the replacement resistor gets a fresh connection. It does not have to plug into an original connector that may have been exposed to the same heat or corrosion.

Buyer's Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Dorman blower motor resistor kit do?

It replaces the blower motor resistor, which sets the lower fan speeds by limiting current to the blower motor. It also supplies a new harness pigtail for the electrical connection.

What comes in the box with part number 973-421?

Each kit contains two pieces: a blower motor resistor and a harness pigtail.

What are signs a blower motor resistor may need replacing?

Common signs include one or more fan speeds not working, or the blower running only on certain settings. Diagnose the HVAC system first, since other components can cause similar symptoms.

Does it fit the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500?

Yes, the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 is one of the listed applications. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm fitment for your exact vehicle.

Why replace the harness pigtail along with the resistor?

The original connector may have been exposed to the same heat or corrosion that affected the resistor. The included pigtail gives the new resistor a fresh connection, which is essential for most repairs.
