Hello,

After getting my Chim 10 days ago I have been loving it. Loving it too much to put it away when it rains. As a result water has got in and buggered up the wiper park switch (I have learned from searching past forum threads). The threads told me what the problem was and that the switch is next to the wiper motor, but I cant see it. Can anyone give me a clue of what it looks like or have and pictures handy that have it in?

Many thanks in anticipation of your help.

Ben

Check your brake lights work !
On my Chim the same fuse supplies both the brake lights and the intermittent wipe (normal wipe is supplied off a different fuse).

Brilliant, thank you all very much. Found it and it is indeed full of water. Ill take it out and give it a clean and dry and see if it works before I get a new one. Will seal it in heatshrink when Im done to prevent it happening again. Thanks so much for your help.
