Hopefully and thanks for your help Robsey, Winter will be dash out time for the blower fix, I reckon it's just seized as probably had little to no use in SA. It was stressful not being my skill set but it starts and runs. I think I plugged the AC back in wrong as it doesn't blow now (not that it was...

Another update.

Ignition switch replaced and we have wipers again!

Thank you all

Ok, so all spade connectors replaced.

Still no wipers, but if I do the work around they appear a bit faster.

Not sure where to go now

An update,

The crowns where very well secure.

No corrosion/rust in sight. Everything just looked a bit old.

Polished the crowns shiny, now doing all spade connectors but ran out of light. Hopefully the weekend will be another turn of the key to see if the problem is solved....

Consensus is they are hanging the earth terminals on inspection. I'll replace all and report back

Nothing is easy with this van I must say!

By the ground wires do you mean the earth crowns?

The earth crowns look ok, if a tiny bit dusty.

Is there something else I should be checking?

Hi Robsey,

One relay changed, still no wipers.

All fuses look ok, not sure what to do now

It appeared to,

I'm going to get a known working one just to double check and report back.

I gather I'm into a world of pain if it is working?

Hi Robsey, So maybe another quirk with my van is that it has a push button start between the 2 diff's! You turn the ignition on all the way push the button and presto fires into life on the button everytime. I got someone to listen closely to the relay and it clicks on then on cranking (pushing the ...

Thanks for the response Robsey,

I took the relay out, it looks fine. The inside also looks good.

Could it be dead without it being obvious? It's a genuine Hella but probably original at a guess

Hello all, I'm trying to find the cause of my current challenge as per the title "Wipers work but only by pulling the indicator stalk back with headlights on only" Under the dash the wiring is questionable. Earth crowns are good Pins for the relays and inside are immaculate I have looked a...

Tracked it down, It's pissing down the 1/4 light front window (non opening). The black gasket extends into the door. I also found quite a build up of silt and crap in the bottom of the door. I've rigged up a hosepipe and packed the window out to the scrapers (they have seen better days). Awaiting r...

That's not a bad idea, I'll have a crack at that

Should you need it? This is what you want to go between the glass and rubber. https://i.imgur.com/k4aGAdG.jpg   Thanks Rob, I definitely need a tube of this. Some more developments I pulled the carpet back a couple of days ago to see if I could track it and it has of course rained so I have had cha...
