Standard Ignition HVAC Blower Motor Resistor P/N:RU-229
Get your heater and A/C fan working through its speed settings again with the Standard Ignition Blower Motor Resistor RU-435, a heater resistor for the 1986-1987 Honda Civic that also fits the 1986-1987 Honda Wagovan and 1986-1987 Acura Integra. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications and is specifically designed for Honda/Acura vehicles.
This hvac blower motor resistor controls how much current reaches the blower motor, which gives the fan its separate speed settings. If a failed resistor is why your fan runs only on high or skips speeds, this unit is designed to restore variable speed control for the A/C and heater blower.
A blower motor resistor may need replacing if the fan works only on the highest setting, if low or middle speeds are missing, or if the blower does not run on some settings. Switches, wiring and the blower motor itself can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing parts. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full fitment details.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Will this blower motor resistor fit my 1986-1987 Honda Civic?
Yes. The RU-435 is a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1987 Honda Civic. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.
What does a blower motor resistor do?
It controls the current sent to the blower motor so the fan can run at different speeds. If the resistor fails, some or all of the lower fan speeds may stop working.
What are signs the blower motor resistor may need replacing?
Common signs are a blower that runs only on high, missing speed settings, or no fan on some positions. Other parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the system before replacing anything.
Does this ac resistor also control the heater fan?
Yes. The heater and A/C share the same blower, so this resistor sets fan speed for both. The RU-435 is designed to restore that variable speed control.
How is the RU-435 built and tested?
It uses premium copper electrical connectors for more precise resistance values. It is also extensively tested at Standard Ignition's facility for correct performance in all conditions.
