Sierra Fan (interior)

Sadly my fan is not working at the moment. This means that i cannot defrost my windscreen, or my toes for that matter.
Here's what i have done so far:
1. spray WD40 onto the switch (incase of dirty switch)
2. checked all fuses
What else should i be doing to get it working?
Note: I haven't done any work to the car recently, so i'm guessing its just going to be muck, or loose leads or something.

Pull the dash off and check the wiring. Probably not really neccessary I just want to see the thread you'll start about how the #$%@ do I get my dashboard back on

Dash removal is pretty simple when the windscreen isn't on.
Steering wheel off, dash pod off, dash out... easy
Reverse that order for dash back on again...

Someone please provide a diagram of some sort here for the cable arrangement in the guts of the interior fan setup.
I pulled mine apart without sketching and have no idea how it goes back together
My fan is decorative only now

I'd imagine you just have a loose connection some where. You will need to check the connections for the fan behind the dash. Because the lever moves it puts some stress onto the switch etc so over time will work loose

Found the problem - two wires have broken off the back of the switch.
