For a 2008 Toyota Tacoma, the stock (OEM) blower motor resistor used in the HVAC system is a Toyota-branded part — the genuine part number most commonly referenced is Toyota 87138-04070 (sometimes updated from older numbers like 87138-04050/04052) and is sold as a Toyota Original Equipment blower motor resistor.

Who Makes the Stock Resistor[edit | edit source]
  • Toyota (OEM) – The factory stock blower resistor for your Tacoma is manufactured under the Toyota brand and supplied through Toyota’s OEM parts channels. These parts are typically made for Toyota by Toyota suppliers and then branded as Toyota genuine parts. Lakeland Toyota Parts[3]
  • Toyota often sources interior electrical and HVAC components through its tier-one suppliers — many interior electrical parts like blower resistors and harnesses are produced by component manufacturers that build to Toyota’s specifications (common suppliers in Toyota’s supply base include companies like Toyota Boshoku, though the exact maker of the specific resistor hardware isn’t always published publicly).

OEM & Aftermarket Options[edit | edit source]

If you want the stock-equivalent resistor (factory spec), you’d pick the Toyota genuine part. Here are some parts you could get, including OEM and high-quality replacements:
