hi. I have a strange problem I cannot fix so was hoping someone here may be able to advise...
I have a Fiat Brava W reg. Some time ago the rear windscreen wiper and the heater stopped working. I thought the electrics muct have gone or something for both to be affected.
BUT I just examined the system. Using an electrical testing scredriver, I earthed it to the car body and tested the electrics going to the wiper ADN the heater. The screw driver lit up indicating there is electric going to these.
So then I thought the wiper must have just gone, but cant explain why the heater is not working. If I put the electrical testing screwdirver on the wires that run across the rear window, it lights up.
So does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?
Do you think the fact I added the earthed scredriver makes the electricity run, and that when I remove it its not actually runnung as there is a problem with the earth for the wiper/heater? If so where can I find the earth?
Thanks a lot
P.S. Anyone know a good website to buy parts for the car, its starting to fall apart now so want to work on it and replace the damaged parts (outer driver door handle, inner driver door interior).
