The wipers move, but no water sprays out when trying to wash my windscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of screws to undo on the underside and then pull the top off and then should be able to see the wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I come back to Australia I will pull the assembly out and have a look at the wires and I will attempt to repair them. Im not bad with the soldering iron and heat shrink lol.At least im feeling a little more relaxed about the issue as I thought I would have immediatley been up for a $395 peice of plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overtime and use of the stalks it then cuts the wire at that corner it has to take to follow the column to behind the dash. So it will just look like a cut wire or 2.Check out pic at end of this thread. http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/65575-blinker-switching-off-dashboard-background-lights/page__pid__1020486Almost need that topic pinned in electrical as this same issue has been brought up multiple times recently.
