Just refitted the fuse to the centre console controls to try and get them working. They mostly seem ok but the right switch at the top labelled G in my manual is having problems. According to the manual this is my fan control but it isn't, that's located bottom left. This is operating a motor that's on the passenger side and fixed against the left side of the footwell.

Can anyone tell me what this motor is doing? AND
Secondly can anyone tell me why the motor is continually turning without stopping( unless the switch is turned off ).

I don't think it's been rotated as I think it's the heater control which should be top left according to the manual. Had a look this afternoon and it looks like it's connected to a large rubber water pipe which is why I think it's the heater????

Just got yer re-circulation gag, like it.

I probably can un-attach it but it's difficult to see how as there's not much room and it's behind the glove box which I've already removed. I received my copy of the bible this morning and was hoping that would help, just when it looked like I was getting to a useful bit, the subject went off at a tangent and started going on about about how a twig was caught in a vent during a race event and the vents started bellowing smoke so he had to stop. I wonder if I've got a twig caught behind my glove box hmmmmmm? I'll take a look.

The circuitry was knacked when I got it, one of teh potentiometres had come loose and had rotated so that two terminals were touching, that's why when f first replaced the fuse I got a stench of electrical burning, I had the part checked out and had a replacement fitted along with most of the rest of the components, LEDs, resistors etc. Got to admit it is behaving peculiarly so you've probably got a point of replacing as TVR understandably won't provide a wiring diagram of it.

Thanks for the advice
