Rear HVAC Blower Motor Resistor - Replaces JA1626, 79330 S3V A51, 973-548, 4P1493, 79330S3VA51 - Compatible with Honda Pilot 2003-2008 & Acura MDX 2001 - Heater Transistor

After buying three of these resistors locally (2 RU444’s and one OEM YH1715) which all failed within 24 hours, this one did the trick and way cheaper. These are known to have manufacturers defects all over the internet with people having to play a lottery to get one that works. This one definitely worked for us.

I got the resistor to fix fan in my truck installed it and the fan works great now

replaced the old with the new and it worked

This is my second one in just under 3 years (35 months to be exact). Now supposedly there is a limited lifetime warranty but I did not test that because I needed a new one quick and for $20 bucks I figured to heck with it, let's get it going. The only ding I'll give it is on longevity but everything else works exactly as anticipated. It fits perfect and matches the OEM version in terms of function. Doesn't seem to cause any more noise or anything.Here are a few things I learned with this:1. Unlike the Honda original, this original replacement failed closed, which is interesting because that means the rear blower motor just kept blowing no matter what the switch was doing. The original honda one failed open meaning nothing came out of the back regardless of configuration of switches. I kind of like the fail closed more because at least there was air of out back, however, there was no way to shut it off, at all.... Even shutting off the front did nothing.2. These are cheap parts and mine only lasted 35 months. You might be able to test the warranty, hard to say. Don't expect one as good as the original Honda part which is much more expensive. I figured I could replace this one 4 times at least before I got up to the cost of the Honda original so to me it was worth it. YMMV.3. Getting this in and out is super easy. Just make sure to retract the driver's seat all the way, and remember it is hooked up front so undo the tabs that hold it onto the center console, then pull back slightly. Don't force the front off or you'll break it.My final tip is if any of the tabs are loose you can re-bend the metal OR if you break one you can actually use tape and build up a small tab again that won't rattle and will fit tight.Good luck!

Fit perfectly on my 2000 Silverado 1500. Solved my not having to two lower speeds on the fan.

Works

good part good value

Works great
