Glad to report some progress in that I have managed to Araldite
a lever onto the extension drive that fits over the spline on the motor,
which is the same as the one illustrated by weety @

I can now at least move the flap manually.
Sadly Clogzz
there was no provision for connecting a cable .
I was unable to detect any resistance across any of wires feeding the motor.
I am sure that those more knowledgeable will probably be able to confirm that it is a stepper motor .
I am convinced that putting a "simple" voltage on to them would achieve nothing.
weety's other photo's show the a/c ecu in situ and also extracted from it's hiding place.
I am sure these photos will be a great help to others and that he will forgive me for drawing attention to them.
If only I had found them first it would have saved some time and damage.
