Default heater re-wiring

guys,
just found out exactly what happens with my heater,
if i connect the multiplug on the top of the heater box the fan runs "slow" constantly (even when turned off) and all the other speeds work fine,
if i disconnect the multiplug the fan only works on the highest speed,
is there any way i can rewire this so the fan works on all speeds but can also be turned off????
has anyone a reworked wiring diagram????
thanks,
neil

If you turn the fan totally off, outside air will come in through the recirc intake in the passenger side kick panel. If your heater box in the engine compartment is not 100% sealed, this air will consist of hot engine compartment air. This is why it is designed to run is slow even when a/c, heat is off.
