Headlights, wipers and fan not working.

Post by BenClem »

Hi folks,

I'm in need of some advice if possible, I have recently lost power to my headlights, wipers and fan. They occasionally work and then turn off, for example if I turn the wipers and try to start the van they will move part way up the windscreen and then stop, so there must be power getting through. I have checked fuses and cleaned the earthing points behind the fuse box. I have not replaced the spade connectors but I'm thinking this may be the next job. If you have any advice or words of wisdom they will be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks
Ben

Ignition switch? Same thing happened to me. Jiggle the key... if that does it, fit a new switch - a few threads on here how to do it.
