Blower Motor

Mr. Dalton,
Good Morning!
Yesterday, I spent all day to figure out why brand new motor has not been working. Initially I had a problem that I was not getting power at the red wire. I've Mickey Moused for a while and I found out that 15A fuse at Auxillary Fan relay was blown. It took me good 2 hrs to figure out. As I replaced the blown fuse, I got power at red. So, I grounded the blue and yes, indeed the motor ran. Then, I re-connected the blue. Reading at red and blue was 12v and the motor was not running. So, I came to a conclusion that I have a bad fan motor regulator. So, instead of putting everything back together, I removed the regulator. This task was a pain in the rear due to the "V" groove. I was not able to just slide the regulator out! I had to disconnect the wires at the plate and as I was pushing down the plastic mesh (I think I broke couple of the mesh), then, I was able to slide out the aluminum plate. Why is this thing so expensive? I think the fan motor is a lot more complicated and uses much more copper than the regulator. Do you have any recommendation where I can get a good quality regulator w/ better price (cheaper)?
