My advice is to bite-the-bullet, find a reputable auto HVAC shop and get it done right. Dollars to nickels they'll find other problems and fix them and your dash unit will blast you out of your seat (like it did when brand new). Your unit works with vacuum controlled flaps, isolating heater and airflow, and someone who endangers your electrical system, is burger-flipper grade.
Jeezo, if I can find competent air conditioner repair down here, it should be a piece of cake up there.
