Keep every blower fan speed working with the Standard Ignition HVAC Blower Motor Resistor RU-696. This resistor sits in the blower motor circuit and controls the current that sets your fan's variable speeds, so the A/C and heater can move air at low, medium, and high settings. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2013 Nissan Cube, 2007-2018 Nissan Tiida, 2007-2012 Nissan Versa, 2016-2018 Subaru Crosstrek, 2008-2018 Subaru Forester, 2007-2017 Subaru Impreza, 2014 Subaru WRX STI, 2013-2014 Subaru XV, and 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
- Premium copper connectors: use copper electrical connectors for more precise resistance values, supporting resistor performance and part life.
- Variable-speed control: designed to restore A/C and heater blower motor variable speed control, helping optimize HVAC performance and passenger comfort.
- Engineered for the HVAC system: a research and design process aimed at seamless integration with the vehicle's HVAC system, specifically designed for Subaru applications.
- Tested performance: undergoes extensive testing at the facility to help ensure correct performance in all conditions.
Signs this part may need replacing include a blower that only runs on certain speeds or one high setting; diagnose the cause before replacing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a blower motor resistor do?
It sits in the blower motor circuit and controls the current that sets the fan's variable speeds, allowing the A/C and heater to run at low, medium, and high settings.
What are signs this resistor may need replacing?
Common signs include a blower that works on only one speed (often high) or that loses certain speed settings. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as other parts can cause similar symptoms.
Which vehicles does the RU-696 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for listed Nissan Cube, Tiida, and Versa, plus Subaru Crosstrek, Forester, Impreza, WRX STI, XV, and XV Crosstrek applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
What connectors does this resistor use?
It uses premium copper electrical connectors for more precise resistance values, which supports resistor performance and part life.
What numbers does the RU-696 interchange with?
It replaces RU1385, JA1759, BR596, 27150ED000, 27150ED00A, 72226FG000, 72226FG001, and 72226FJ000.
