In any case, I have limited time left to work on this car. And I am about to resurrect another wagon, an '84 that is missing most of its ACC components and has a damaged dash anyway (too lazy to remove the steering wheel to pull the cluster out?... no problem, just tear the dashboard binnacle out and pull it that way!). Any 240d CC gear I can come by needs to get put into that car.

I may have to take Funola's suggestion and install a manual blower control unit. I could probably float that as an 'upgrade' to a potential purchaser with a straight face, as the lack of manual override on the blower has always bugged my behind on all ACC systems... .
Oopppsss I keep forgetting people have rust issues

Maybe keep an eye on the for sale section and finding someone parting out a 240D and have them send you everything....of course shipping is the issue...

I would think an external resistor pack would work, long as you can get to the harness to splice one in.
