Indeed it does, and we have lift off!
While you were posting this I took the intake mesh cover off again and tried to work out which was which then attempted to access the beige one.
As I tried to pull it from it's retaining clips I heard a very slow gentle soft thud. The blower motor ticking over extremely slowly driven by the solar panel.
And sure enough a bit of wiggling and it got a bit faster. Into the car, ignition on and we're blowing again, a bit hesitant but the problem is identified.
Thanks very much for the information and suggestions Mark. I now need to undo that connector and make sure it's clean and making good contact.
PS In case anyone has the noisy coolant pump issue it looks like the pink/purple connector in there is almost certainly the one to undo to disable the pump.
