Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

wipers going when boot is opened

siobhansiobhan · 2013-08-16 20:30:36

does anyone know why, on my 2001 seat ibiza car the wipers start when i open the boot. The radio starts itself so i had to take fuse out and now the heater blows cold air all the time. the radio will flatten battery so have to keep fuse out all the time. what can i do to solve. ps cant afford new motor but love one

strip back the outer covering on the wiring harness that flexes when you open the boot, normally at one of the hindges.

extend and reconnect/ insulate the broken wires.

Wiring faults can cause many strange things to happen!!

You have narrowed fault down to opening the boot so fix that first.
