myke Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Multispace 04 Reg, 1.9 Forte. If I leave either my front or rear wipers switched on when I turn the engine off, when I restart the engine later or the next day I have to reset the wipers as they do not come on despite being in the on position. Is this standard, (part of the quirky nature of the wireing system) or a sign of impending problems. :) Quote
iannez Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 normal. if the wipers are in the on position when the bsi goes to sleep it resets and when it wakes up needs a signal to tell it the wipers are on hence the reason why you have to turn them off and back on again. the wiper switch is not realy a switch, its a sender. not like old style switches that break a circuit or increase voltage. it just sends a signal a bit like morse code. bsi recieves it and sends a live to the component. dont you just love multiplexing.
