Blower Motor Control Module Bypass (or replacement source)

[Project Pat]

Makes you wonder what's so different about this model and one for a Ford or
Chevy.  I know the physical size and connector would be different, but some
of those domestic parts are around $20-30.  might be worth investigating.

Subject: Blower Motor Control Module Bypass (or replacement source)



My blower motor control module went out for the second time
in two years.  Followed the diagnostics
that confirm it's the module, not the motor (when you jumper two of the
cables in the control module, motor runs at high speed).

 

I'm out of town (in Toronto) and haven't been able to source
a local replacement for less that $250. 
I'm wondering about various options for a temporary fix to get home and
allow time to shop around for a better price.
