Paul,

The motor is wound so it is not ground specific.

The original switch is a rheostat to allow you to run the heater in slow speed 
or slower! 

The motor and 4 bladed fan does not push that much air, maybe enough to heat 
one side of the car and when the heater doors closed demist the windshield.

The 4 heater is much better for both applications.
