Hi,
I am new to the Fiat world having in the past few weeks bought a 2000 'X'-reg Seicento SX.
It's developed a small fault and I'd appreciate any guidance in tracking it.
Every time I pull the wiper stalk to wash the front windscreen it activates the washer jets on the rear screen. If I use the stalk to do the real action for rear windscreen wash it does the same.
It seems to have come on after a recent long drive in the rain, during which I was using the front and rear wipers a lot. I wonder if I have worn the contacts where the stalk plugs in...
I'm reasonably handy with mechanics and electricals but I'm loathe to start taking the steering wheel apart (I hate working around airbags) before I can get a good idea as to what might have gone wrong.
Thanks.
