Indicators and Rear Wiper - related perhaps?

If you can still hear a noise from the rear wiper motor then its okay but the spindle is slipping, inside the wiperarm, you might need to replace the wiper arm; if on the other hand, the motor is making no noise, then you could have a bad connection, a blown fuse, or the motor may have blown. The indicators work on an independant curcuit from the hazzard lights, thats why the hazard lights work but not the indicators. Try your fuses, there may be one for each side i.e. right and left side), or the relay might be kaput. The window winder sounds as if its popped out of its channel, you'll need to remove all the furniture from the door (the handles, door opener, buttons etc and possibly the door pocket), to get the winder handle off, get a piece of cloth and slide it down behind the handle, and pull it end to end, back and forwards, and up; this will catch a small spring clip and release it allowing the handle to slide off its spline. NOTE THE WAY THE WINDER HANDLE POINTS SO YOU CAN PUT IT BACK ON THE SAME WAY!!! (you can look at the other door for this), the door panel will be held at certain points around it by poppers, little plastic clips, carefully prise them out, and remove the door panel. Check also that the winder handle, hasnt been stripped on its spline; the spline is metal but the handle is plastic and will be easily stripped, if this is the case, then you may get away with a new winder handle!! And that will save you opening up the whole door! i hope this is a help to you!!! regards, mark

If theres a sheet of plastic film you can either take the whole sheet off, of cut a hole and then tape it back up when youre finished in there. If you look inside the door you'll see that the winder is attached to the mechanism and the mechanism, is attached to the galss by one or two rollers, that slide along a channel. Often if you have a good pair of pliers, you can just squeeze the rollers back into the channel, with a pop, and thats it. other wise, you will need to remove the window rubber trim on the top edge of the door, so you can manoevre the glass and relocate the rollers into the channel. Then put it all back together again "SH" wrote in message news: snipped-for-privacy@posting.google.com...

Mark,

Thank you very much for your advice, its much appreciated.

Unfortunately though, I haven't gotten around to the window just yet.

However, i've found the fusebox is in a terrible state of confusion. It seems like someone removed every single fuse and then put them back randomly. I have a 13 fuse system and it seems that the indicators and the rear wiper are on the same circuit. A 5A fuse (now blown) had been used where a 15A one should have (there is also a 75A fuse in there for lord knows what reason, so i'm guessing the rear wiper tried to draw too much of a load when it struggled to push the snow off the rear wind screen.

Anyway, I'm going to go buy some new fuses, at least for that circuit (no spares seem to remain). Though I'm curious, should I switch/replace all the intact fuses that aren't rated correctly for their respective circuit?

Thanks again,

Harris
