Review on Dorman 973 540 Blower Resistor Harness by Mark Gilbert

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost impossible to disconnect but will work

The resistor pack itself is fine but I will be using it again in a few months. maybe next summer. One of the wires in the harness is too small so there is a chance it could burn out - I replaced it with a thicker one. I wonder how many fractions of the money was saved by using thin wire. Change on this wire. I had to disassemble the connector - after all, there's a white latch that can be pulled out, and the crimped wire can't be opened, meaning it was soldered. On union nuts - thin again; Only one of them is suitable for making connections, like the others, the wire for crimping cannot get into the metal sleeve. I simply twisted the wires, soldered them together and put on the electrical wire nut. Then I put the harness in the box's connector and couldn't unplug it, it got so rigid - at least it should make good contact and not burn as others have lasted 23 years. All in all I would buy it again if I had to replace the wiring harness - yes that's the only way to get a new connector. But also make sure you have the right spare pins and the right crimp cap nuts. Don't forget the crimping tool. Via Revain 24 hour delivery. it's more like 48 hours, so go ahead: if there's no chance, then don't offer 24 hours. I don't know whose fault it is, but if you can't make it in 24 hours, don't try - I only order 24 hour delivery when I really need something, and this time I needed the damn part urgently.

Pros
  • Relay
Cons
  • Will work
