Standard Ignition HVAC Blower Motor Resistor P/N:RU-69
Take charge of cabin airflow again with the Standard Ignition Blower Motor Resistor, part number RU-582, a front-position resistor that feeds reduced voltage to the blower motor to create its lower fan speeds. It fits many Ford and Mercury vehicles, among them the 1995-1997 Ford Explorer, 2002 Ford Ranger and 1991-1993 Ford Cougar, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
If a worn-out 1995-1997 Ford Explorer blower motor resistor is the cause of your fan trouble, RU-582 is designed to replace it. Signs the part may need replacing include a blower that runs only on its highest setting, one or more fan speeds that no longer work, or no airflow on the lower settings. The switch, wiring or blower motor can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the fault before replacing.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does an HVAC blower motor resistor do?
It reduces the voltage reaching the blower motor so the A/C and heater fan can run at speeds below full. This gives you variable fan speed control.
Is RU-582 the right 2002 Ford Ranger blower motor resistor?
Yes. RU-582 is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002 Ford Ranger. The Buyer's Guide tab shows engine details.
Does RU-582 fit the 1995-1997 Ford Explorer and 1991-1993 Ford Cougar?
It is listed for the 1995-1997 Ford Explorer and the 1991-1993 Ford Cougar. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for every listed application.
What are signs a blower motor resistor may be failing?
Signs include a blower that works only on high, missing fan speeds, or no airflow on lower settings. The switch, wiring or motor can cause similar faults, so diagnose first.
What sets the Standard Ignition RU-582 apart?
It uses premium copper electrical connectors for more precise resistance values and is designed specifically for Ford applications. It also goes through extensive testing at Standard's facility.
