For car motor sake, it's better to "fail" OPEN than to "fail" CLOSED.

Thanks for adding this info. Tele man...
So always vote for open thermostat than closed, open doors rather than closed, etc... GREAT!
Knowing motor will only actuate the vanes, which way are the vanes moving? If not the proper way then a simple changing of wire polarity may do the trick. Hmmm, BTW, I don't like 'lectricity!
