sorry for the late reply, yeah i compared the plugs to one at the junkyard and they are def just orphan plugs. yes ive pulled the hvac control unit and checked nearly everything from the central juntion box and power distribution as well. bench tested the motor and its ok, blower motor relay ok, all the pins in c209 (green connector) ok, but the wiring to the blower motor was completely botched so i rewired it. i have constant 12v switched 12v and ground at the blower motor relay, but the weather went south and work has had me on 12s so i havent had time to look any further. also noticed the rear wiper seems to be stuck on, so i just pulled the fuse. im not even worried about that thing right now.
