Take control of heater and A/C fan speed with the Standard Motor Products blower motor resistor RU-61, which sets the blower's variable speeds through premium copper electrical connectors for precise resistance values. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1995-1999 Chevrolet C1500, 1995-1999 Chevrolet K1500 and 1995-1999 Chevrolet Tahoe, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. The catalog lists it for both front and rear positions, depending on the application. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
The resistor undergoes extensive testing at SMP's facility to confirm correct performance across operating conditions. If a failed HVAC blower motor resistor is why your fan runs on only some speeds, this part replaces it. It is designed to return variable speed control to the A/C and heater blower motor, which supports HVAC performance and passenger comfort.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does a blower motor resistor do?
It changes the resistance in the blower circuit, which sets the fan speeds of the A/C and heater blower motor so you can choose between speed settings.
Is the RU-61 the right Chevy Tahoe blower motor resistor for a 1995-1999 Chevrolet Tahoe?
It is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1999 Chevrolet Tahoe. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for every listed application.
Can I use this as a C1500 blower motor resistor on a 1995-1999 Chevrolet C1500?
Yes. The listed applications include the 1995-1999 Chevrolet C1500 and the 1995-1999 Chevrolet K1500.
What are signs the blower motor resistor may need replacing?
Common signs include a blower that works on only some speed settings, or only on high. Diagnose the circuit first, because switch or wiring faults can cause similar symptoms.
What protects this resistor from electrical surges?
A built-in fuse protects the resistor from failure caused by an excessive current surge. This helps prevent damage to the blower motor and other components.
