That one doesn't seem to exist in the handbook :frown: On the schematics there's only tiny pictures that could be almost anything - try fuse 5 on the engine fusebox, also there's 6 fuses on the BSI itself

ive just removed the door card on the tailgate and put a test lamp on the conectors.the brown plastic one with 3 wires going to it.with the ignition turned on and the engine running.i probed one of the wires and it is live,the other conector stays lit for about 5 seconds then goes out but does not come back on again as with the intermitent wipe. ive got a new motor and this still doesnt work ive pressumed the fuses are ok because ive got power going to the motor, any ideas,best regards tony,if it maybe a relay where abouts will i find it
