Odd problem with wipers on doblo.
Discussion
Hi,
I'm trying to get the bottom of a problem with my front wipers on my Fiat Doblo.
The wipers and squirters work fine when key is turned to its first position, but as soon as i turn the ignition on I get nothing. I have found that if In give the key a carefully coreographed wiggle I can get the wipers to come on, but this is not ideal As MOT is getting close.
Any ideas of a possible fix? I'm guesing the problem lays in the ignition barrel itself.
Thanks.

I had a similar problem 20 odd years ago on a ford, it turned out it needed a new wiper stalk, if I wiggled the wiper arm(the stalk by the steering wheel) it would work, I got a replacement from a scrapyard for £5 and it worked perfectly. It's worth wiggling the wiper stalk to see if yours has a similar problem.
