Standard Ignition HVAC Blower Motor Resistor P/N:RU-870
Help bring back full fan-speed control for your BMW's heater and air conditioning with the Standard Ignition HVAC Blower Motor Resistor RU-818. This blower motor resistor steps down voltage to the blower motor so the fan runs at each of its lower settings; if a failed resistor is why your fan only works on high (or drops certain speeds), this drops in as a direct-fit replacement for many BMW models, including the 2016-2018 BMW M2, 2015-2018 BMW M3 and 2015-2020 BMW M4 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

What does the RU-818 blower motor resistor do?
It regulates voltage to the HVAC blower motor so the fan can run at its lower speed settings, giving you variable heater and A/C airflow control.
My blower only works on the highest setting. Is this the fix?
A failed resistor can cause the loss of the lower fan speeds. If the resistor is the cause, replacing it with the RU-818 restores those speeds; diagnose first, as wiring or the switch can also be at fault.
Does this fit my BMW?
It is a direct-fit replacement for many BMW models, among them the 2016-2018 BMW M2, 2015-2018 BMW M3 and 2015-2020 BMW M4. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your exact year and model.
What numbers does the RU-818 interchange with?
It cross-references 64119231742, 64119270254, 64119276112, RU1507, JA1967 and BR718.
What is the resistor wire made from?
It uses Kanthal D resistor wire, which offers greater flexibility, durability and tensile strength for the higher-watt resistor circuits.
