During reinstallation i trapped one of the motor wires and it wouldn't pull through into the engine bay because the crimped connection was too large. I dropped the matrix box further down off its studs but it wasn't having it, at this point i began to believe the thing was fighting me deliberately. I tried to yank the wire back through hoping to recrimp the end and be done with it rather than taking the matrix box all the way back out, but snatched at it in annoyance and ripped the other end out of the blower motor too. Realising this meant a full stripdown and soldering iron job my head went; the dashboard got a pounding and now the glovebox doesn't shut, the back door got a whack and now has a row of knuckle dents in the door, lastly i slammed the passenger door so hard that the window exploded into diamond dust. On the way back into the house to turn the soldering iron on i punched a wooden board a few times.
Mr B I know it wasn't supposed to be funny but your description above had me rolling around on the floor. The sequence of steps coincide with great comedies like Laurel and Hardy, where a relatively simple job ends up as a major catastrophe. Also great cartoons where inanimate objects frustrate the intentions of the main characters.

I think when you read back over it in a week or two you will also see the funny side and perhaps that will help you see the error of your way.
