General Help - back window wiper and demister not working

[ozziepedro]

Hi there,

My gf fiat cinquecentos back window demister and wiper are not working. Have checked all fuses and they all seem to be fine, have seen in the haynes manual that it runs on a relay. Has any one got any advice on had to fix it please?

Cheers

they use seperate relays, the chance of both relays failing at the same time is very very small.

first thing to check are the contacts on the tailgate. make sure they are not rusty or dirty, and that the spring loaded pins are still springy enough to make contact when you shut the tailgate.

Was going to sugest the same thing, as that IS the problem
