Blower Motor Resistor: Description and Operation
Description - Front
DESCRIPTION
A blower motor resistor is used on vehicles equipped with the manual temperature control (MTC) heating and/or A/C system. Vehicles equipped with
the automatic temperature control (ATC) heating-A/C system use a blower motor power module, instead of the blower motor resistor.
The blower motor resistor consists of a molded plastic mounting plate (1) with an integral wire connector receptacle (5). Concealed behind the mounting
plate are coiled resistor wires (3) contained within a metal heat sink (4) The blower motor resistor also has integral mounting tabs (2) to secure it to the
HVAC housing.
The blower motor resistor can be accessed for service by removing the glove box from the instrument panel.
