Hello All,
I have a bit of a puzzle with my 2001 Punto MkII, it goes like this;
The horn stopped working a few days ago, but was quickly fixed by just taking apart from spade clip connection on the -ve terminal and putting it back on. Sorted.
The next event may or may not be related.
A day later I jump in the car (it's raining) put the windscreen wipers on- they are sluggish. Lights are turned on at the stalk = rear windscreen wiper turns itself on. On later inspection the next morning the following happens;
(All systems off) then....
Hazards on = Rear windscreen Wiper turns On itself ( from now on abbrv to RWO)
Indicator on (left and right) = RWO
Front wipers on (& sluggish) = RWO
Sidelights on = all ok
Headlights on = RWO and no lights actually turn on.
All sorts of issues here as you can see. The battery is good, alternator charging fine, no fuses blown or bulbs out. Indicator stalks are working incrementally as they should do. All rear lights seem to be working fine but the front lights are getting confused - the sidelights are blinking (dimly) with the indicators. No headlights or Full beam lights at all.
So far I have;
-checked all fuses
-tested 2 earths on engine below battery (+ve battery terminal to earth reads around 12v) I think I've done that correctly.
Help?!
Regards,
Will :bang:
