recommendations needed
I am still having problems with my wipers not working as well as the electric windows. They have been playing around with me by working for a few days on the odd occasion. Now, not working again. I am looking for an auto electrician capable of tracing the root cause of this. Any suggestions are welcome.
I did drive up to Yorkshire last week and had Big Russ take a look but at the time everything was working so he cleaned everything around the fuse box and checked everything on the T4, all fine. The car is perfect in every other respect.

There are several fuses involved. 1/ Fuse 3 under the bonnet. 2/ fuse numbers 1,5 and 8 in the cabin fuse box. Possibly fuse4 as well. A problem or poor contact on any of these fuse can give you the intermittent operations that you have. Worth un-plugging and plugging in again these fuses. Maybe even changing them to be sure.--- |

The wipers are the most important, the windows I never open anyway., I have no chance at getting in to passenger foot-well to fuse box, my body is totally incapable of doing that.

The fault wasn't present when John came up to see me It's very difficult to find what's causing a problem when it's not there, you can try your best to investigate it by disturbing things to try and initiate the fault but we didn't have any luck doing that either. I've talked to John since the fault has re-occurred, the car had been stood and it had rained. I can only conclude that the car is leaking somewhere probably around the windscreen area is dripping onto a connector somewhere, which then dries out and the fault disappears again. Russ

Intermittant faults are always a headache to find.
Maybe spraying all the connectors he can find with WD 40 might drive the moisture out and keep it out. Personally I always spray all the connectors I can find on my car just in case.---- |

Problem is now fixed I traced it to a faulty earth connection in the passenger foot-well fuse box. Both wipers and windows now working again. With all the new additions like DD and reversing camneras and DVR being fitted and fuses becoming piggy backed it was a bit of a mess down there.
