Electrics!

[AmbulanceChaser]

Got some slight issues with my electrics!
i can only start my car with the lights on... so that acts as an ignition.
also my wipers dont work. indicators don't flash and the brake lights a very dim.
There is one upside though.... its just come back from the bodyshop and it looks top!

My vote goes for bad earth connection.......somewhere.

Wires mixed up on the fuse box?

Big hint, I would suggest, at the least, they didn't reconnect the light units correctly.

Look at any thing that was disconected and reconcted when the paint work was done. Looking at all the above.

You want a little red led with a random pulse circuit that flashes the light intermittently in the crytal part of that badge.
