OK I rewired the motor and just to make it interesting the motor has 5 wires but the cables in car had 6, the extra cable was like a cream colour but there was no cream colour cable on board in blend motor just white, red/black, brown, white and black also the large motor in passengers corner behind glovebox doesn't always come on when it should, give glovebox a dunt and it does lol

The 5 wires to the blend motor are, Black, Brown (connected to the motor), White (wiper on the feedback pot), Red/Black (one end of feedback pot), Grey (other end of feedback pot). This are the 5 that come from the HEVAC and if you look at the plug that goes into the HEVAC you'll see 3 of each colour, each set going to one blend motor (left and right temperature and distribution).

Large motor behind the glovebox is the passenger side blower. If that doesn't start it will also cause the book symbol and needing a thump means it is either binding on something or the commutator or brushes are worn out.

It won't move if the HEVAC isn't seeing a feedback signal. As it doesn't know what position it is in it won't try to move it.

Sounds like the one you have isn't working so it's got to be worth a try.

Classic sign of a worn out feedback pot, it will stick at one end of the travel or the other. When mine started to do it, it was the drivers side. It always decided to stick on hot in the summer and cold in the winter.....
