Standard Ignition HVAC Blower Motor Resistor P/N:RU-769
Regulate how fast your A/C and heater blower runs with the Standard Blower Motor Resistor RU-696, the component that gives the blower motor its variable speed control. It is listed for several models, among them the 2008-2018 Subaru Forester, 2007-2012 Nissan Versa and 2007-2017 Subaru Impreza, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Signs this part may need replacing include a blower that runs only on its highest setting, skips certain speeds, or does not run at all on some settings. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since switch, wiring or motor faults can produce similar symptoms.

What does an HVAC blower motor resistor do?
It controls the current sent to the blower motor so the fan can run at different speeds. RU-696 uses copper electrical connectors for more precise resistance values.
What are signs the blower motor resistor may need replacing?
Common signs include a blower that works only on high, skips some speeds, or will not run on certain settings. Diagnose the cause first, because switch or wiring faults can produce similar symptoms.
How is the RU-696 installed?
It installs in place of the original resistor as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. Follow your vehicle's service information for access and removal steps.
