Howard thanks a million, the image will be a great help. It sounds like loads of fun trying to remove a horse shoe clip where you can't see and barely able to reach to remove.

It seems like the "down direction" wire to the motor is frayed where it enters the housing. So when the switch stuck in the Down position, thing began to "Heat Up" (no pun intended). Since it also appears that on my car the PWs aren't part a circuit breaker or fused system, the hot lead behind the dash went through a melt down providing additional things to play with lying on my back between seat and firewall.

Time to sign off since it is almost 4 PM here and time to pop the tab on a cold one.
