    My car has developed a strange electrical Problem. When I use the Indicators or Wipers My ABs light comes on and the indicators, wipers, heater blower and radio stop working, they come back after a few seconds but will go again until i turn of the indicators or wipers.

    Any ideas anyone?

    that sounds like a short somewhere. It could be frayed wires in the stalk or steering column. Also check the fusebox that there are no burnt out areas. try check behind it for damaged wires too.

    get in under the footwells and have a poke about. Remove the radio and wiggle the wires and see if anything's amiss.

    Get a fault code reader that can read toyota B - codes to help you trace the problem.
