A-Premium Front HVAC Blower Motor Resistor — 2-Pin Connector, OE-Fit, 1-Year Warranty

The A-Premium Front HVAC Blower Motor Resistor is a direct-fit replacement for select Subaru models that restores blower speed control and installs without modification.

If your Subaru's heater or air conditioning fan only works on some speeds or not at all, the blower motor resistor is a common wear item responsible for regulating fan speeds. This A-Premium unit is built to OE-style specifications for an easy swap into compatible Crosstrek, Forester, Impreza, WRX STI and XV Crosstrek models. It arrives without a wire harness and uses a two-pin connector style with four male terminals and two mounting holes.
