Help keep your A/C and heater fan speeds working the way they should with the Standard Ignition Blower Motor Resistor RU-573. This front-position resistor controls the current reaching the blower motor, which gives the fan its lower speed settings. It is a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of vehicles, among them the 2011-2019 Ford Explorer, 2009-2014 Ford Mustang and 2008-2012 Ford Escape. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
If a failed 2011-2019 Ford Explorer blower motor resistor is the reason your fan has lost some of its speeds, this unit is designed to restore variable-speed control of the A/C and heater blower motor. That helps support HVAC performance and passenger comfort. The resistor was designed specifically for Ford applications. The Buyer's Guide tab lists every Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda model it fits.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is this the right blower motor resistor for a 2008-2012 Ford Escape?
RU-573 is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2012 Ford Escape. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
Will it fit a 2013 Ford Explorer?
Yes. The 2011-2019 Ford Explorer is among the listed applications, along with the 2009-2014 Ford Mustang. See the Buyer's Guide tab for every listed vehicle.
What does an HVAC blower motor resistor do?
It sets the blower motor's lower speeds by changing the current that reaches the motor. This gives the A/C and heater fan its variable speed settings.
What are signs a blower motor resistor may need replacing?
Common signs include a blower that runs only on its highest setting, or fan speeds that stop working. Diagnose first, since switch, wiring or motor faults can cause similar symptoms.
What is this resistor built with?
Standard uses premium copper electrical connectors and Kanthal D resistor wire. The design also undergoes extensive testing at Standard's facility.
