Dorman - OE Solutions HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Kit P/N:973-521
Replace an overheated or corroded blower resistor with the Dorman blower motor resistor, part number 973-423, a resistor-and-harness kit built as a direct replacement for the original equipment on the 2001-2004 Dodge Stratus and 2001-2004 Chrysler Sebring.
The blower motor resistor helps control the speed of the HVAC blower fan. When the original resistor overheats or corrodes, the fan may run on only some speed settings or not at all. This Dorman hvac blower motor resistor kit pairs a new resistor with a harness pigtail, so the connection can be renewed at the same time as the resistor.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does a blower motor resistor do?
It helps control the speed of the HVAC blower fan, allowing the fan to run at different speed settings instead of only one.
What comes in the Dorman blower motor resistor kit?
Each kit includes a resistor and a harness pigtail, so the connection can be replaced along with the resistor during the repair.
What are signs the blower motor resistor may need replacing?
A blower that works on only some speed settings or not at all can indicate a failed resistor. A bad switch or motor can cause similar signs, so diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
Does it fit the 2001-2004 Dodge Stratus and 2001-2004 Chrysler Sebring?
Yes, it is a direct replacement for the 2001-2004 Dodge Stratus and 2001-2004 Chrysler Sebring. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Why does the kit include a harness pigtail?
Dorman notes the harness pigtail is essential for most repairs, so the kit supplies it with the resistor to replace the original connection.
