On the bench test, I just used the battery from my truck, ran a "hot wire from the + side of the battery to the appropriate spot on the blower switch on the A/C controller, and then grounded the unit and neg side of the battery--just can't remember exactly how I grounded it - I was just winging it. I even hooked up the controller cables to the A/C controller and made sure the different diverter doors worked. My dealer said he's only seen one or two out of hundreds have a problem, but you want to know BEFORE you put the thing in.
I'll need a little time to try and get pics, but I'll do my best.
