pupstew Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Well after further investigation I have narrowed down the cause of the indicator / gauges fuse constantly blowing when the ignition is turned on. Turns out the rear wash wiper rotary control switch on the dashboard has burned out and has been fusing. I had a real worry that I had caught a wire in the roof when I recently removed the lining to insulate it, but thank the lord that it wasnt. The wiper motor on the back door is fine, so replacement switch it is.......just a rear shame that its a Landrover part and almost fifty quid to boot.......bugger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Carling replacement? Just bought one for my 109 and I think it was £14 from Mudstuff...obviously not a direct replacement in that it will fit the same hole, but small pods avaliable...

ejparrott Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 cool would be interested in giving this a go, is the wiring similar? I think the wiring is identical, barring a jumper from one pin to another. I am a Series 3 owner though and chose this switch because its a carling, and its going in a raptor dash. There are no extra wires to run in as far as I'm aware, I don't know if an original switch has spades on it, but the leaflet that came from MUD with the switch was quite helpful. I think all you have to do is split the green wire into 2, and apply it to 2 terminals on the switch, unless the OE switch also has two terminals for it...
