Default Need help w/ blower motor replacement..

I need to replace my blower motor on my 2001 V70 w/ 111 k miles,, Should I go to a local parts store and purchase their product that seems to look like the original motor assembly but does not have a 4 wire connection port on the motor. Does it make a difference if it only has a plug in for 2 wire connection??? The motor that is installed now is the original motor with the vehicle and has a connection harness that has a 4 wire connection part....
Can someone tell me what the difference is, if there is one at all???
Thanks

I replaced the blower motor on my 01 v70 last winter. I just went to the local junk yard and picked up one for $20.

The two wire connector is from the blower motor which connects to the blower motor resistor. The 4 wire connector goes into the other port on the resistor which is from the vehicle control unit.

If you take off the blower motor resistor you will see the 2 wire motor connector. The blower motor resistor is the large aluminum piece with fins on it which is held on by 2-3 philips screws.

Here is the layout of the blower motor and resistor.
