no heater or wipers

Post by jim potter »

OK. So I Ave lost my heater blower and wipers . Fuses are OK so I assume a relay.
Is it one relay that does them both..searching topics on this gets mixed results.
I've also checked the earth's. No problems there. Should I be looking link out the relay
As a check ? Tips appreciated.

Thanks Jim

Are the headlights working? Just wondering about the X circuit, load reduction when starting engine. Wipers and heater fan are on X circuit, so are headlights.

The lights are fed straight from the ignition switch X terminal, so the finger is pointing toward the load reduction relay. I have spares if needed.
