Help bring back full control of your cabin fan with the Standard Ignition RU-870 Blower Motor Resistor, a Jeep Cherokee blower motor resistor built as a direct-fit replacement for the 2014-2023 Jeep Cherokee and the 2015-2017 Chrysler 200. The resistor controls the voltage that reaches the blower motor so the fan can run at its lower speed settings. This unit is designed to restore variable blower speed control for both A/C and heat, helping support HVAC performance and passenger comfort.

  • Copper electrical connectors: Premium copper connectors are used for more precise resistance values, intended to improve resistor performance and extend part life.
  • Kanthal D resistor wire: Gives the wiring attached to higher-watt resistors greater flexibility, durability and tensile strength.
  • Engineered for the HVAC system: Standard's research and design process aims for seamless integration with the vehicle's HVAC system, and the part is designed specifically for Chrysler applications.
  • Tested in-house: The resistor undergoes extensive testing at Standard's facility to check for correct performance.

Signs this part may need replacing include a blower that runs only on its highest setting, or one or more fan speeds that no longer work. Other HVAC faults can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the system before replacing the resistor. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details and the full fitment chart.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an hvac blower motor resistor do?

It controls the voltage sent to the blower motor so the fan can run at its lower speed settings. The RU-870 is designed to restore variable speed control for both A/C and heat.

Is this the right blower motor resistor for a 2016 Jeep Cherokee?

Yes. The RU-870 is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 2014-2023 Jeep Cherokee, which includes the 2016 model year. It also fits the 2015-2017 Chrysler 200.

What are signs the blower motor resistor may need replacing?

Common signs include a fan that works only on its highest setting, or some fan speeds that stop working. Other HVAC faults can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the system first.

What materials does Standard use in the RU-870?

It uses premium copper electrical connectors for more precise resistance values. It also uses Kanthal D resistor wire for flexibility, durability and tensile strength.

How is the RU-870 installed?

It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. Follow the vehicle's service information for the resistor's location and the removal and installation steps.
