ok, thanks for all the help! switching the blue and red worked. I still have both fan wires tied together, the more I look into this I think different brands are different in their wiring (Dometic vs Coleman). Since I needed the +12v wire to Rc, I believe I have a Coleman AC unit.
But I don't know for sure which brand AC I have, it's ducted with an unmarked exterior cover, I'll drop the inside cover later and check for a label up there.
Once I know that, I think that will determine whether I should have the two fan speeds tied together, or just the high connected. But assuming it's Coleman, I think I should in fact remove the low speed wire.
In the meantime, it's working. My 5 minute project ended up taking a few hours and it was 90 degrees in there by the time I got it working! :S
