Thanks

Thanks gts_hg, sounds nasty to get to the fan. I might have to see if it is just leaves by feeding something flexible like a hose or wire up and down the duct before removing the whole dash.

Problem solved. Thanks Jim5.0. The alternating did not help but putting my hand 200mm up the passenger floor output duct I could feel the fan. It’s actually a centrifugal blower. That is how accessible it was to my hand. What I found in there was not leav
