Tridon Air Conditioning Resistor TFR016, 3 Pin

The Tridon Air Conditioning Resistor, part number TFR016, is an individual air conditioning resistor supplied as each. It is listed with 3 pins and is intended for cooling and AC component applications.

This item is a Tridon-branded resistor with a one year warranty and a listed weight of 0.11kg. If you are replacing an existing air conditioning resistor, matching the part number and pin count is the first practical check before ordering.

Fitment information is provided against a range of Ford, Holden and HSV applications, including Ford Telstar and selected Holden Berlina, Calais and HSV models. Because climate control components are application sensitive, confirmation against the exact vehicle and build details remains important.

Application and Buying Notes

When checking this resistor for a replacement job, start with the part number TFR016 and the 3 pin layout. Those two details are the clearest identifiers supplied here, and they should be matched against the removed part or the vehicle’s existing climate control component before purchase.

The fitment data includes Ford Telstar, plus selected Holden and HSV applications such as Berlina, Calais, Caprice and ClubSport. That gives a useful starting point, but climate control resistors are not universal parts, so the exact model, year and vehicle specification should still be checked carefully against the application list.

This resistor is supplied as each and weighs 0.11kg, which is useful when comparing it with the old component or confirming that the correct style of replacement has been selected. If the existing part has a different pin count, a different connector shape, or a different part number, it should not be treated as a direct match.

The one year warranty provides a standard level of coverage, but it does not replace the need to verify fitment. For electrical and HVAC parts, the safest buying decision is to compare the part number, pin count and vehicle application together, rather than relying on model name alone.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number TFR016 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

Tridon Air Conditioning Resistor. Part number TFR016 should be checked first. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number TFR016, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a air conditioning resistor in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed electrical specification should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include FORD TELSTAR, FORD TELSTAR 1987, FORD TELSTAR 1988, FORD TELSTAR 1989, HOLDEN BERLINA, HOLDEN BERLINA 1991. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

The listed warranty is One Year. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment by matching the part number TFR016, the 3 pin configuration, and the exact vehicle application before ordering. If the removed part or vehicle details do not align, do not assume compatibility.
