Im currently rebuilding cassidy16v nova and we have got the full loom in the car and the electric window loom as well.

For some reason the dash lights up,the heater blowers work the full beam works,the windows work etc etc but the central locking ,headlights and back lights etc dont work only full beam,the wipers dont work??

Ive check the earths and have continuity at all points and am running out of ideas??

Anyone had this before??

Right ive took the light switch out and the holder it clips in is broken on one side so the connector isnt in properly so ive sorted that lol

The wipers not working was doing my head in been out and checked the switches etc then started looking at the wiring diagrams and noticed the motor is earthed through the backing plate,went out thinking that it might be covered in paint then remembered cassidy couldnt find all the screws for wiper so put two in and forgot to put one in the bottom earthing point lol

So thats them sorted now just the central locking to figure out now and then on with the xe wiring and digi dash.
