Hey Guys, when you get your PWM controller, it may not have english notation on the circuit board to tell which is the 12v in and motor out connections. I wrote to the vendor of the eBay link I placed here and they sent this photo of the proper connection points.

Just did my install. I have a buzz  :(

 

Harv,  I got a different controller than you have. It is the one ordered form your link,  may be the same one everyone else ordered. Can I do any thing to stop the buzz? I tried  going around the old speed switch just to be sure that is not the problem as I left the resistors in but used the switched tab. Anyone else done the install??

 

 

This is the controller I have, except the led is green

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like the hum is caused by the frequency of the PWM controller. I don't have that issue and I'm not sure how you can determine if any given controller will do that. I guess I was lucky. I would try writing to the vendor and see what they say or just try your luck on another brand/vendor.

I will contact the vendor and unwire for now. I was hoping I might be able to put a capacitor in the line but that is beyond my skill set. Getting ready for a trip to Glacier mid Aug so this might have to wait.  Others who have purchased the same controller might want to jumper the controller in to give it a try be for a full install.  I will post up any information I get from the vendor.
