Default Will a 96 ac controller work on a 94?

My a/c controller (the one under the dash) went out again.
This is the 2nd one in less than one year.
There is one for sale, but it is out of a 1996.
Will this work in my 1994?

Yes but the 96' controller has a problem with collapsing nipples. Do NOT buy a 96' A/C controller.
This is the problem:

And just like all the Opti horror stories, not all cars are having this issue.
With over 100k miles, I have had any issues at all with the controller.
