Help bring back variable fan-speed control in the cabin with a Toyota 4RUNNER blower motor resistor from Standard Ignition, part number RU-243, cataloged for the front position. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2002 Toyota 4RUNNER and is designed to restore speed control to the A/C and heater blower motor. For engine-specific details, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
This hvac blower motor resistor regulates the current sent to the blower motor so the fan can run at its lower speed settings. Signs it may need replacing include a blower that runs only on high, or one or more fan speeds that no longer work. If a failed resistor is the cause, the RU-243 replaces it. Diagnose first, because a faulty switch, wiring, connector, or blower motor can produce similar symptoms.
