The fan has behaved very oddly over the weekend, sometimes working and sometimes not. And turning the speed up to max makes no difference at all, it just seems to decide to work, sometimes mid-journey
 Just been out to the car, it's pretty thick cloud at present, and the fan is just ticking over slowly driven by the solar panel. IIRC that's driven directly with a relay that switches over to HVAC control/power when the ignition is on. My thinking is that if it was the fan bearings or motor that are at fault then a low voltage input from the solar panel wouldn't make it work at all (and a high fan speed setting might prod it into life), so my suspicion still currently is focussed on the connector/wiring and some sort of poor/intermittent contact. Currently awaiting some "bits" from A8parts that should assist with diagnosis.
