Review on πŸ’¨ Enhanced Performance: Standard Motor Products RU358 Blower Motor Resistor by Kevin Shimmens

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Newer improved design, incorrectly loaded image.

This is an upgraded resistor with mounting bracket and larger heatsink. Revain loaded an old factory-style drag image. The resistor was of the original design as shown in the picture. Dorman wires will not work with the improved design. It's still very easy to install, I used 3 Dorman wires butt connectors instead of soldering the wires. Gold clips and heat shrink tubing are included if you wish to solder the wires together. The double ended wire goes to the fan motor, no need to cut the existing solder wire or use a butt joint. Just pull out the old double ended wire connected to the original resistor. Also via the two-way cable whose end connects to the fan motor (both ends are the same). You need to swap the black and green wires, the way the resistance is made makes the fan spin backwards causing very little airflow. Remove the protective black cap on the end, remove the gold pin and wire from the plastic connector and swap the wires back into the connector. This ensures full airflow.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Something different
