I just received a replacement Blower Motor Resistor assembly and it has an electrical connector with 5 contact blades. Problem is, the original part has a 3 contact blade connector. In checking all the various sources on the internet, it appears that the replacement part from all suppliers has a connector with 5 contact blades. :confused:
Examples at these links:

Anyway, it looks like I'm going to have to make a non-plug-compatible part work. How can I determine which contacts to use if I have to cut the harness connector off and solder wires directly to the connector or the blower motor resistor assembly?
