    Have taken stereo out as selling S2, 3b and now when I turn the blower on the Lights go off ??

    The windows start goping down cm by cm

    and there is a clicking coming from Top RHS of the drivers dash ?

    It's probably worth taking off the panel under the steering column to get at the relays and see what one is doing the clicking. That might be the easiest way to suss it out.

    When you took the stereo out did you unplug a block connector or was there a bunch of loose wires to untangle? the general witchcraft you describe would suggest a mad earthing issue to me so all I can think of is the stereo has been removed and an earth is shorting against a live, or a live is shorting against any earthing point or something along those lines. If there is any spaghetti i'd make sure every loose wire is individually insulated.
    Might be worth checking to see if someone has piggy backed a live or earth onto the feeds for the blower
    good luck

      check all of your wires on the main stereo loom, sounds like your live wire from the fuse box maybe damaged/stripped wire and is connecting to another wire, i had similar fault a few months bakc and found it to be a damaged wire on the stereo loom & it was connecting with a wire and triggering a relay on teh main circuit.. hope this helps..
