Standard Ignition HVAC Blower Motor Resistor P/N:RU-253
Standard Ignition HVAC Blower Motor Resistor P/N:RU-253
$73.99

Designed to restore the variable fan speeds of your Subaru's heater and A/C blower, the Standard Ignition Blower Motor Resistor RU-253 is a replacement for the 1985-1991 Subaru XT, 1985-1989 Subaru GL-10, 1986-1989 Subaru RX, 1987 Subaru BRAT, 1987-1989 Subaru DL, 1987-1989 Subaru GL, 1987-1989 Subaru Justy, 1987 Subaru Standard and 1990-1994 Subaru Loyale. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.

This hvac blower motor resistor sits in the blower circuit and varies the current reaching the blower motor, which lets the fan run at its lower settings.

  • Copper electrical connectors: Premium copper connectors are used for more precise resistance values, intended to improve resistor performance and extend part life.
  • HVAC integration: Standard's research and design process is aimed at seamless integration with the vehicle's HVAC system.
  • Variable speed control: Designed to restore A/C and heater blower motor variable speed control, helping support HVAC performance and passenger comfort.
  • Subaru-specific and tested: Specifically designed for Subaru applications and put through extensive testing at Standard's facility for correct performance across operating conditions.

Signs this part may need replacing include a blower that runs only on its highest setting or skips one or more lower speeds. Because a failed switch, wiring or motor can produce similar symptoms, diagnose the blower circuit before replacing parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which vehicles does the Standard RU-253 fit?

It fits the 1985-1991 Subaru XT, 1985-1989 Subaru GL-10, 1986-1989 Subaru RX, 1987 Subaru BRAT, 1987-1989 Subaru DL, 1987-1989 Subaru GL, 1987-1989 Subaru Justy, 1987 Subaru Standard and 1990-1994 Subaru Loyale.

What does a blower motor resistor do?

It varies the current sent to the blower motor so the heater and A/C fan can run at its lower speed settings, not just one speed.

What are signs this resistor may need replacing?

A blower that works only on its highest setting or skips lower speeds can indicate a failed resistor. A switch, wiring or motor fault can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the circuit first.

Which part numbers does RU-253 interchange with?

It cross-references RU953, JA1232, BR163, 1568103311, 72083GA040 and 72083GA070.

Why does Standard use copper connectors on this resistor?

Standard uses premium copper electrical connectors for more precise resistance values, which is intended to improve resistor performance and part life.
