Here's the datasheet for one of the boxes I liked. If you look at the rendering on the top right, you can see the flange around the edge of lid. The screws themselves should also seal pretty well. link Here's a truly sealed box, but with no easy way I can think of to mount it to the car? link If someone would just make the perfect box, this would be a lot easier I'm not worried about the sticky standoffs vibrating off, if that's what you're wondering.

Yes, there are 4 holes in each corner of the board. I guess I'm just being lazy, and don't want to drill and tap the holes for the standoffs Although nylon standoffs really would work pretty well. And not that much more work for all 10 boxes I'll probably sell. I can leave room around the board so you can drill two holes through the bottom of the box to mount it to the car. I'll print out a label and have it on the inside of the box showing which wires go where, and how to set the dip switch.

And the two boxes. The bigger, completely sealed one, does have two spots to mount it under the lid, and outside of the seal But the smaller one is, well, a lot smaller. I'll probably include both when I send one to you for testing to get your thoughts

The white six pin header on the top edge is so I can program the microcontroller. The ones that ship out may or may not have it installed.
Yes, the flathead screw heads you see on the blue thing clamp/hold the wires. Just a standard screw terminal.

Sounds good! I've got a spare fan motor with a wire connector. I was thinking that you could cut the connector off the motor and make a jumper harness with that and the chassis side connector you have for your truck. Find a Mercedes and plug in the harness. You'd be able to read the signals on the jumper harness. Andrewh's wife has a Mercedes. What she doesn't know won't hurt him.
