Unfortunately - no I didn't test it - I made a dumb a** newbie (can I still
be a newbie 10 plus years in?) mistake and made the rationalization "It
worked fine when I removed it from the other bus 2 years ago so it must be
fine now". You'd think I'd have learned by now - but it seems each "new"
job I tackle there is a mistake to be made.

I know the switch works because I tested it by plugging it into the rear
heater harness and gave it a spin - worked like a charm.

Thanks for the information that will help. I am assuming at this point it's
the motor - but knowing that it could be a ground is at least somewhat
reassuring :)
