The blower and fan control board is the same for the Civic and the Insight, we just do not need to populate the PWM stuff when we use it on the Insight.
The Temp board will sit just to the front of the BCM, and will have the PTC wiring pass through it so the PTC signal can be passed to the charger in a fully isolated way when the charger is connected.
