Electronic Touch Climate Control Blower Motor Resistor

[6SENSE]

Is there anywhere that you can get this from other than getting lucky and finding one on a '85 or so Riviera in the junkyard??
This is the assembly that sits next to the blower motor with two electrical connectors going to it unique to the electronic touch climate control on Regals and Rivs in mid '80s.
My blower motor just stopped working all together (no speeds) and thats basically the same as having no A/C even though the compressor and all else still functions because nothing blows through the vents. The blower motor is newer and works (I tested it with straight 12v). I tried three other electronic touch climate control units that I have sitting around and still no go. Checked all fuses. All I can come up with is the resistor.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Still available from GM. Part number 25500218. Kind of pricey. MSRP $161.46!

They were also used on the full size(Park Ave,LeSabre) Buicks too. I cant remember but one of the applications(PA or Riv) you had to drill out the rivets on the mounting plate. No big deal. I still see plenty of these C68 cars in the boneyards in my area so you might luck out and find a good working one. If you are thinking about stocking up on spare parts for the C68 CC system this is the only part that was the same on non Regals. Everything else like the programmer and control head is Regal specific.
