Hi Folks,
I have an 03 JTD MPV Doblo - replaced the clutch, dual mass flywheel then cambelt and waterpump so been an expensive 4 months ! Now today the heater stopped for no reason then the wipers would not work. Both started a bit later then tonight lights packed up, then fan again and wipers. Then back again off again but when off an indicator came on but really low power. Cannot use the car cause not safe.
One thing I did notice the indicator stalk has been changed to a Doblo Cargo at some time so no rear window wash wipe available.
I am guessing earth or the indicator stalk but i am beginning to hope someone nicks the bloody thing. I bought it cheap but not cheap now.

Any help much appreciated before I set fire to it !
 
Anyone help ? Looked at other threads and earthing or battery would be the obvious problem but I charged the battery up fully and it made no difference or is it a case of if the battery is knackered it still won't work ?
The wipers stutter and the heater switch buzzes now too.
I have has a few Alfa's in my time with dodgy electrics but this........
 
When I had electrical problems with things like lights coming on when I turned on the wipers and wipers not working it turned out to be broken wires inside the rubber sleeve between body and tailgate.
I found it by turning things on then opening the tailgate and holding the sleeve and moving it.
 
If it is not the Battery then you need to check the chassis earth lead. Have a look in the archive as there is plenty about this in there as its a known problem. Always start with the simple things and these are quick to check. (y)
