Bring back full fan-speed control for your Toyota's heater and A/C with the Standard Ignition HVAC Blower Motor Resistor RU-298. It drops in as a replacement for the 1981-1984 Toyota Cressida [All], designed to restore A/C and heater blower motor variable speed control and help optimize HVAC performance and passenger comfort.
A blower motor resistor sits in the fan circuit and adds resistance to set the lower and mid blower speeds. If a failed resistor is the cause of your blower working only on certain settings (commonly high only), this replaces it — diagnose the circuit first, since wiring and the switch can produce similar signs.
- Premium copper connectors: used for more precise resistance values, which the manufacturer notes improves performance and offers longer part life.
- Connector & terminals: rectangular female connector with 6 male blade terminals, a single connector cavity, and screw attachment; 12-volt.
- Speed range: supports 3–5 speed operation per the catalog.
- Toyota-specific & tested: specifically designed for Toyota applications and undergoes extensive facility testing.
Wiring harness, mounting hardware, and mounting bracket(s) are not included. Country of origin: Japan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this blower motor resistor do?
It sits in the blower motor circuit and adds resistance to set the lower and mid fan speeds, giving you variable speed control for the heater and A/C.
Will this fit my vehicle?
It is listed for the 1981-1984 Toyota Cressida [All]. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm it matches your specific vehicle.
My blower only works on high — is this the part I need?
A failed resistor is a common cause of losing the lower fan speeds. If the resistor is the cause, this replaces it, but diagnose the wiring and switch first since they can cause similar symptoms.
Does it come with a wiring harness or mounting hardware?
No. The wiring harness, mounting hardware, and mounting bracket(s) are not included.
What are the connector and terminal details?
It has a rectangular female connector with 6 male blade terminals, a single connector cavity, screw attachment, and is rated at 12 volts.
