• Blower motor resistor
• Blower motor
• AC compressor
• Refrigerant
• Cabin air filter

Replacing these parts at the same time can prevent repeat failures. A failing blower motor resistor can cause the climate control module to work harder, leading to its failure. A clogged cabin air filter can restrict airflow, also stressing the system.

• The climate control module typically lasts 7-10 years.

Factors that affect longevity:

• Climate conditions (extreme heat or cold)
• Driving habits
• Regular maintenance of the climate control system
• Electrical system health

• Used OEM: $50 - $200
• New Aftermarket: $100 - $300
• Labor cost: $100 - $300 (if professional installation is needed)
• Total job cost estimate: $150 - $600

Some vehicles have known issues with the solder joints on the climate control module circuit board. This can cause intermittent failures or complete loss of function. Check online forums for your specific vehicle model to see if this is a common problem.

How to Confirm Proper Operation

• Start the vehicle and turn on the climate control system.
