Hi all, I am experienceing some problems with my electrics.
First of all, my low beam headlights aren't working but my high beams are.
Secondly my wipers when turning off, they wont stop at the bottom of the windscreen just any old where.

I have swapped over the indicator stalk but that didn't fix it no fuses are blown either.
This has all only happened recently, just would like any feedback if anyone has had similar problems.

My dad suggested there could be a dry joint somewhere.
Any ideas guys?????

I had the same problem with the low beam headlight, turned out it was lack of ground (negative) because my wires where all dry...take a look around the wires, see what you find...about the wipers...i have no idea...hehe...sorry...good luck...

yeah the way they work is as the wiper spins it slides over a contact and this is how it knows where to stop (it looks like a disc inside the motor) i still think you should check all the bolts first.
