Any I can get my grubby hands on
Electrical Dumb****ery
I'm pretty sure my W209 is every inch a female.
Driving today in the rain (not sure if this is relevant), my windscreen wipers didnt work - except on single sweep mode.
I take a corner, when the right hand indicator is flashing the wipers start working. When indicator stops then so does the wiper.
I try a left hand turn, error message pops up saying left hand rear indicator light is blown. wipers persist on not working.
Then the wipers start working again until I turn right and then straighten up, then they stop working again,
When it stops raining I'll check out the indicator bulb and replace it - with any luck this will be the root cause of the problem and everything will be fine again.
If not, then I guess im in the dog house for some unknown reason. Maybe I looked to closely at another car recently or something.

Update - yup replacing the indicator bulb fixed the windscreen wipers.
Euro cars ARE like women. Logic has no place, but once you get the taste for them just hard to shake.
