Standard Ignition HVAC Blower Motor Resistor P/N:RU-543
Get your fan speeds back under control with the Standard Ignition HVAC Blower Motor Resistor RU-54. This resistor sets the voltage the HVAC blower motor receives, giving you the different fan speeds on the A/C and heater. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1991-1996 Buick Century, 1991-1996 Buick Commercial Chassis, 1991-1996 Buick Roadmaster, 1991-1996 Chevrolet Caprice, 1991-1994 Chevrolet Commercial Chassis, 1994-1996 Chevrolet Impala, and 1991-1992 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser.
Common signs the original resistor may need replacing include losing one or more blower speeds while the highest speed still works, or the fan not running at all. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine-level fitment.
