Standard Ignition HVAC Blower Motor Resistor P/N:RU-870
Keep the fan spinning at every setting with the Standard Ignition HVAC Blower Motor Resistor RU-298 (also written RU298). This blower motor resistor drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1981-1984 Toyota Cressida, and Standard specifically designed it for Toyota applications. The resistor sits in the HVAC circuit and controls the current sent to the blower motor, stepping the fan through its lower and mid speeds. If a failed resistor is the reason your blower only runs on high (or drops certain speeds entirely), this replaces the worn unit.
Fitment: 1981-1984 Toyota Cressida. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact match for your vehicle.
Interchange: RU998 · JA1362 · BR208 · 8863522020
This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does this blower motor resistor do?
It sits in the HVAC circuit and controls the current sent to the blower motor, which sets the fan through its lower and mid speeds. The RU-298 replaces a worn or failed resistor.
Which vehicle does the RU-298 fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1981-1984 Toyota Cressida. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact match for your vehicle.
My blower only works on high speed. Will this fix it?
A failed resistor is a common cause of losing the lower fan speeds. If the resistor is the cause, this replaces it; diagnose the circuit first, as the switch or wiring can also be at fault.
What numbers does this part interchange with?
It cross-references RU998, JA1362, BR208, and 8863522020.
What are the connectors made of?
Standard uses premium copper electrical connectors to deliver more precise resistance values for improved performance and longer part life.
