They are commonly referred to as 'resistor packs' regardless of what is inside the box. The manual control version is fairly easy to fix with a soldering iron, but I've not attempted the digital control version. There are a few on ebay, but unless they specifically say suitable for digital controls, then safe to assume they're not. You can order them from all the usual Bongo suppliers and many Mazda dealers.

Sounds like you've just found a gap in the market to offer a repair service
