Thanks, Christian. Unfortunately, you are dealing with an utter numpty when it comes to electrical matters. I thought Ohm's Law was a TV series.
I'm sure the diagrams and explanation you provided mean something to many here but to me it is still baffling. I can't speak Klingon, either.
I did manage to rig up a manual switch today, tapping in to the green/black at the connector under the left hand fairing infill. I have that running through a 3-pole, single throw LED illuminated switch. Green/black to one pole, earth to another. I can get either the LED to light or the fan to operate but not both together. I tried 576 permutations of wiring connections through the switch before deciding that life was too short to retrain as an electrical engineer. I shall focus my efforts instead on trying to become the oldest player on the PGA Tour.
Earlier, in a fit of enthusiasm and over-confidence, I ordered a ten-pack of transistors to replace TR34. I will spend a few days practising SMD component removal on some old PCBs I salvaged a while ago. There is a fine line between having enough alcohol to steady my hands while keeping my vision clear enough to see the infernal bits. I shall enjoy experimenting to find the perfect balance.
Cheers!
Mike
PS. Joking aside, I will try to crack the code on your latest suggestion and if successful, I'll add it to the list of things to try.
