how can the fog light switch stop the rear wiper, central locking and rear fogs from working?
I get the rear fogs but the other stuff? What car is it?
I would normally suggest broken wires into the tailgate if its a clio/ph2 19 |

thats what i thought chris, but it def does stop the wiper, its a 19 1.4,
also when its not working if you push the wiper arm forward to switch it on the fog warning light comes on on the dash  |

is it a ph2 19?
If so then the wires in the rubbe rtrunking have broken and are shoting out against each other. |

I had it exactly as Chris said. The wires on my 19 16v chamade went brittle and their casings cracked open as they pass to the boot lid they played up the rear fog and boot central locking as they pass through the same rubber sleeve. |
