Description

Help your climate control deliver every fan speed again with the Dorman blower motor resistor kit 973-518, made for the 2008-2009 Ford Taurus and 2008-2009 Mercury Sable. This Dorman hvac blower motor resistor kit pairs a resistor with a harness pigtail to replace an original equipment resistor that has overheated or corroded. It installs as a direct replacement for the original equipment on the listed applications.

Resistor and harness together: each kit comes with a resistor and a harness pigtail, which is essential for most repairs.
Direct replacement: built to directly replace the original equipment on the 2008-2009 Ford Taurus and 2008-2009 Mercury Sable.
Performs like the original: made to perform like original equipment. If a failed resistor is the cause, it is intended to return full HVAC operation.
Engineering support: backed by a team of engineers and quality specialists in the USA.

The blower motor resistor sets the blower fan's speeds by changing the current supplied to the motor. Signs it may need replacing include a fan that runs only on its highest setting, missing fan speeds, or a blower that won't run at all. The blower motor, switch or wiring can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing any part. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct installation procedure.
