I did a search for this but nothing came up
Driving to work this morning and it's a bit foggy, so I put the wipers on and nothing
Any ideas what I should be checking? Please

[Natalie]

Anyone else have any suggestions ... in simpleton terms so that I can understand?

check all fuses is the first thing to do!

What has a flasher unit got to do with the windscreen wipers?

Anyway I agree that it's probably just a pesky fuse.

Standard 4 fuse box mounted on the bulkhead.: -

1 1-2 35amp Brake Lights, Reverse Lights, Direction Indicators & Rear Screen Demister.

2 3-4 25amp Horn, Headlamp Flasher, Brake Failure Circuit & Radio Memory.

3 5-6 25amp Heater Blower Motor, Windscreen Wipers, Washer Motor & Instruments.

4 7-8 15amp Side & Tail Lights, Panel Lights & Instruments.

my heaters and wipers only work when my lights are turn on any ideas peps ???

[taffy1967]

Bad connection or a short circuit perhaps?

Try cleaning up the fuse box, or simply replace it if it's looking manky.

get the haynes manual out, buy a new fuse box and some connectors and start rewiring!

[backstreetclassics]

ok in this case ill change it over to blade fuses and then shouldnt have a prob im gona go for the 8 fuse set up

[taffy1967]

Nothing wrong with the standard 4 fuse box set-up, so long as it's in good order.

[backstreetclassics]

yeah but ill be able to see if a fuse has blown and what it is so that i can look if there is a problem with that circit

[Jammy]

I've always been able to tell if a fuse has blown with the glass cartridge type!

And I agree with taffy, the flasher unit has nothing to do with the wipers! Please make sure you do actually no the answer before guessing.

Moved to technical and problems.

Sorry. Slightly O/T, but why would the wipers help in fog anyway?

Sorry to be of no help but this confused me
