Default crx climate control in civic swap

So, today i started putting a 91 crx climate control in my 91 civic hatch..

I am using the complete heatercore box, ac box, and blower motor. The main difference that many people already know, is that the fresh air/recirc door in the blower motor and door in the heater box are electronically operated instead cable operated..

My issue is that it is not completely plug and play.. The small motor that opens and closes the door on the blower motor has a plug that is not in the civic.. Also, the crx climate control has this one large plug with about 7 wires where the civic has a small 2 wire plug which is used to light it up.

It seems i am going to have to find the wiring and go from there..

If anyone has done this, or if someone can be of any help.. please chime in..

I'm just like you man, i have the harness and all the parts, but need to fix the harness for the crx recirc/airbox. I was lucky enough to have a car that my brother had so i got all the wiring from under the dash as well. I also have a crx climate control, but i think its crxtoad that has the plates to fix these, not sure if mine is able to be saved or not.

Get a helms. Whats so difficult? You look at the wiring schematics in the service manual and go from there.

I would never mess with a car without the schematics.
