Hello, A friend who works at General Motors gave me the electric motor off a Caddy AC programmer and it worked great as a replacement for the one in my 86 5000CS T. I had to take the plastic arm off my motor and put it on the caddy motor. My friend also recommended putting a 680K ohm resistor across the center to ground legs on the motor potentiometer that is used to sense the arm position. Apparently Caddilac had a service bulletin recommending the procedure. Sometimes the potentiometer wiper contact gets oxidized and causes an open circuit going to the op amp used to make the motor move when a "new" temperature is chosen. Scott
