wipers and indicator fuse?

[prettyboyben]

hi guys, well after getting my clutch finally fixed ive had a few trouble free days of motoring which have been awesome. now today however when ive got in the car to use it, as it was starting up the wipers wiped halfway across the windscreen whilst spraying and then stopped. i hadnt touched anything. and now they wont move and the indicators dont work. so, are they on the same fuse and if so which one is it?

also, the passenger door button on the inside is very tempremental, is there an easy fix for this? please let there be an easy fix!!! hahaha!!

Not sure where the fuse is.

The door button connections are inside the door.

Remove the inner door panel and clean all the contacts.

That should sort it.

cheers mate, i'll have a go at that!

so has noone any ideas on the fuse situation?

On mine

Fuse 18 = Indicators 20amp 4th from the right
Fuse 15 = wipers/brake lights /reverse lights 15amp 7th from the right

All fuses are in the boot

These are on a 2002 4.5

Might be an idea to see if you have any rear lights

[prettyboyben]

yep, rear lights working and turns out im just an idiot as today the indicators are working. no idea why they werent yesterday, probably just because the disapproving girlfriend was in the car. but turns out, i think, that its just a case of weak wiper motor and no fluid. now to sound like an even bigger idiot, where do you fill up the washer fluid? please dont laugh too much!!!

[Dave 500]

Under the bonnet near the lights on the right probably got a Ford plastic cover on it

[prettyboyben]

cant find anything there apart from the power steering fluid bottle. what is the white hole right in the centre of the engine bay?

[Gazzab]

The white hole in the centre half way between the front of the engine and the bonnet hinges is the windscreen fluid filling hole. It should have a white cap. (On later cars it isnt in quite the same position).
If you are missing the cap you will probably find something round the house that will fit.

[prettyboyben]

awesome, cheers guys!! we thought that was the washer fluid bottle but obviously didnt want to go pouring water into an unknown hole! never a good thing for a sunday afternoon.
