The BCM from eBay was no trouble, just a bit awkward to put in. The three controllers gave almost the identical voltage out puts at the regulator socket as the one tested and logged in Jeffery Alisons bench test on the Heater/AC components.
The two regulators were both faulty, the cheapo eBay one put out no voltage at all through the range from zero to five. The original one put out .06 volts from position zero to position #1 and 7.8 volts from there to position #5.
I am now waiting for the Behr regulator to arrive and hopefully solve my problem.
Those people who said the regulator was at fault were correct, top marks to you all.
I got the Behr/Hella regulator from German Parts Supply, it came to Canada from California via USPS in nine days, this was the earliest date given in their delivery window. The Pony Express is my favoured shipper as all the others are more expensive, less reliable and collect import duties on every little item.
Support your postal service.

The regulator is installed and everything is working again.

Hella part# 89192 (original part on the Crossfire, possibly an obsolete number)
Behr Hella part# 351321011
Mercedes part# 202 820 73 10
