Dorman - OE Solutions HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit P/N:973-556
If lost fan speeds trace back to an overheated or corroded resistor, the Dorman blower motor resistor 973-563 supplies a new resistor and a new harness pigtail in one kit. It is a direct replacement for the 1999-2003 Ford Windstar. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
This Dorman hvac blower motor resistor kit replaces an overheated or corroded original equipment resistor. The blower motor resistor controls the current sent to the blower motor, which gives the fan its separate speed settings. Signs it may need replacing include a blower that runs on only some settings, only on high, or not at all. A blower motor, switch or wiring fault can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
