This may help

The green wire is an oddity. It connects to the live side of the wiper switch. It only uses that as a convenient place to pick up a live when ignition on connection. The black (earth) wire can go to any convenient earthing point. Note: there are 2 different designs of motor used in the later heaters, both made by Smiths and they look identical from outside. One type has permanent magnets and will turn backwards if the car's polarity is changed from positive to negative earth. The other type has windings and no permanent magnets and it turns the same way regardless of polarity. The centrifugal blower impeller (fan) works much less efficiently turning the wrong way and the already less than wonderful air flow will be reduced. If unsure (and the car has been changed to negative earth) then the heater wires need to be changed round to: black to live side of heater switch; green to an earthing point.

Thank you both for your detailed reply’s
