Brought my son to collect a 3 D printer thingy yesterday , he went on the bus just incase I broke down , he came home with me and the printer thingy , anyway I had to meet him were he was buying the thingy off some guy , so I was looking for parking as it was near the city centre anyway as i was looking i spotted an empty parking space and parked ,in the garden was a skip and as i do I had to have a look and I hit the jackpot , anyway I will tell u what I found when I hear what's been ur best find for free , and no it wasnt a one arm bandit

A nice walking stick with a brass duck's head for a handle, left leaning against a skip at the local tip, cleaned up nicely:)

Boombox lol , it does its job ,, as for the wipers wiper should its resting place be on drivers side or should it rest to passengers side , , I am assuming drivers side ? also all my lights work except my headlights rear lights unless I turn the knob to include side lights , the rear lights also will come on when just using side lights but rear wont come on when just using headlights , any thoughts ?
 
Sounds like a dodgy switch, try a squirt of contact cleaner around the back of the switch and down the stem of the switch if you can. Another possibility is a bad earth somewhere. Yes the wipers park in front of the driver.
 
Like Panky said unless for some reason the wire (red) is connected to wrong terminal on switch? Blue is headlight, red is sidelights and dash lights and brown goes to fuse (liveIMG_3059.jpegIMG_3060.jpeg

Cheers panky will do , may be
 
Yes mine only has 1 red wire and the bulb housing is earth. Couldn’t remember if you had said yours was positive earth so I’m not sure if wiring would be identical but diagram may give you an idea of how it should work etc.

Yes its positive earth , couldn't get at it today as its lashing down here in Ireland , I only noticed the rear lights weren't working after a few beeps of cars behind me , I had a look the other day and didnt notice any loose wires and bulbs seem ok , Imay have caused it as I was trying to put the front badge and things on a couple of days before I was getting cars beeping , , so I will have a good look again as soon as rain gives up , cheers mate
