Hi to all
I have recently found that when i switch on my headlights the windscreen wipers operate continually. Also if the left hand indicator is switched on the wipers operate once or maybe twice. I assume earthing issues but i dont know where to look for a possible problem. Any advise greatly appreciated.

Had exactly the same problem last week, after doing a search on here it pointed me towards earth to inner wing. Had a quick look at back of headlamp and immediately noticed I had forgot to refit earth to inner wing when I did some welding on the front outrigger . Tightened bolt and solved problem. If yours is fitted, remove, clean terminal and refit.
 
Hi Iguana
Checked behind headlight but no earth bolt visible. All cables appear to be in a loom. I believe there may be an earth post up behind the coolant bottle ?
Any ideas ?

You may have read my lengthy post on how I went about solving this problem ... it drove me mad. First off try disconnecting the electrics from the washer bottle and see if your problem goes away ... if it does I'll tell you how to fix it ;)
