    rear wiper fault!!!

    hi my rear wiper has died.Checked for power and their is power all the time through the red wire.But no power coming through the other wire(Green/black)Have just got a new motor and still no luck.Could it be the relay,although their is power getting to it????Oh one small question all the switched(Windows/diff/heated seats/etc)Should they all light up??????
    many thanks

    Check the ground. The wires run out of the hatch on the left top. They get pinched and break over the years.
    And, yes, all your swirtches should light. Look on www.20v.org for the replacement bulbs. I think they have them listed there.

      It could also be a problem with the wiper stalk, though I'd check the wiring to the tailgate first

        thinking it maybe a problem with the stalk as the front wiper only has one speed (Fast)!Also the rear wash wipe doesnt work!Yet more jobs to add to my list+Replace all the bulbs as half of them dont work!!!!Just realised tonight that you can dim the main cluster,gauges,nice find!

            on the main cluster where you set the time, on the toggle switch thing their is another switch for setting the trip.If you turn it clockwise/anticlockwise, the lights will dim!

                          When mine went ****-up, it was the loom running from the roof to the hatch.

                          Got it repaired at a garage but the wash hasn't worked since...
