try disconnecting the 2 wire plug at the motor and put a 1000 ohm resistor between the tenminals. i have never tried this but if it works you can epoxy a similar temp sensor to the outside of the motor. (or just do without one)

easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
