What is the Heater Blower Motor Resistor all about?

The heater blower motor resistor is located underneath the dashboard in the heater/AC compartment. The resistor enables the heater blower motor to change the speed of the fan. Without this part you will not be able to change the speed of the airflow from the blower motor. It is also possible that the heater motor blower may not work at all. If the resistor has gone bad, it is likely that the fan will work only on the highest speed.

Keep in mind:

*If no air is coming out of your vents, you may have a problem with the heater blower motor as well as the resistor. * Mechanical resistance to the fan (such as when something gets stuck in the fan), can often cause damage to the heater blower motor resistor.

How it's done:

  • Inspect electrical circuits to verify faulty resistor.
  • Remove and replace the faulty resistor.

Our recommendation:

The air and heating system in your vehicle is a closed system, so it won’t be inspected during servicing and routine maintenance. If you notice any part of the air and heating system behaving bizarrely, however, you should always schedule an inspection. If your fan is stuck on high, you likely have a bad heater blower motor resistor, and should schedule to have it replaced.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Heater Blower Motor Resistor?

  • Blower motor only operates at 2 speeds instead of 4 speeds.
  • Blower motor is not functioning (no air from vents).

How important is this service?

To ensure proper operation of the blower motor, the resistor has to be working correctly or else you may end up with either no airflow from the fan or your fan will be stuck on one speed.

Mercedes-Benz S550 V8-5.5L - Fuel Pump Replacement - Redwood City, California
Khoa was timely and polite. He seemed knowledgeable. The only reason I didn’t give him 5 stars is a flaw with the way the business is set up. The dealership (Autobahn Motors) diagnosed the problem as a failed fuel pump and recommended replacement. They wanted to charge $2000, so I had my car towed home and used YourMechanic. Khoa replaced the fuel pump for $580, but it turns out that isn’t the problem. To find out what is the problem I was told I needed to make another appointment. A regular mechanic could have proceeded to determine what is the real problem. So now I have spent $580 and I am still without a car or a solution.

Mercedes-Benz S550 V8-5.5L - Brake Pads Replacement (Front) - Mableton, Georgia
Exceeded my expectations... The weather knocked my appointment off track a couple of times, but Kinder's constant updates and timely communication made it a non-issue. He Made it to our rescheduled appointment a little earlier than scheduled ready to go. Before beginning any work he explained the process, confirmed what I wanted done and how it worked. Upon finishing.. he test drove vehicle and explained to me "what" he had done and what was discovered causing the issues. He didn't bash my prior mechanics he just explained that some vehicles need a little more knowledge than others...If my long winded comment is any indication... as I stated earlier, my expectations were exceeded. For those of you, like myself , who totally enjoy your European car but not the sometimes sticker shock of maintenance... i strongly encourage you to try this service and I strongly urge you to request Kinder... You can thank me later. Royce
