I had this problem ages ago and I removed a small unit behind the dash that controls the air vents.
I took it apart and sprayed with contact cleaner spray and re-fitted and its been fine since.
I did take a load of pics but they were posted on LB forum.
Could be the same issue.
It's a small plastic unit attached to a metal frame , inside has a motor and some plastic cogs that I cleaned up.
Do take a pic before you take them apart though

Worst thing was I got a replacement unit from a breakers that didn't work and ended up with two working ones in the end

Cheers

I found my old pics

If I remember there are gold contacts under the cogs on the PCB this is what I cleaned with the spray cleaner.

Hope this helps matey

Right you where right toadster it was that part but advice to anyone getting that part out is take the seat out first unless you're made of rubber

thanks toadster again
