Been there an wound up in the same place, my fix was to wire a toggle switch on the dash to send a full 12v to the blower motor directly.

Which is about twice as high, as high. Blows like crazy.

Yea something like that, it will run faster getting a full 12. But you should be able to hide everything just fine and make it look as if it works like stock.
