Hi everyone. I have a problem with my EF falcon gli that I'm hoping someone has experienced at some stage.

The problem is an intermittent one. Sometimes the wipers and the aircon & heater fan do not work when the ignition is turned on or the engine is started. On occasions the wipers/heater fan/aircon will start working after a few minutes of starting the car. Other times everything works fine after starting, but will not work if the ignition is turned off and on again.

It is frustration especially if it decides to rain. I have checked what relays I can find and they seem to be fine. I have looked at the wiring diagrams in the workshop manual and can find no common connection between the wipers and the aircon/heater.

Any suggestions would be most welcome before I take the car to an auto sparky.

Cheers

hey i would try another BEM model should be able to find a gli one quite cheap

Thanks Rapier, I'll try that. That's about the only thing I haven't tried yet. Cheers

Hey mate my car does the exact same thing plus my cd player doesn't work either. Next time it happens, Turn the key back as if you are going to turn it off but don't turn it off. Usually everything starts working again then. It is a faulty igniton switch.

Thanks mate, that's fantastic. I'll try it. May solve my problems. Cheers

No worries let me know if that's what's it because i should be fixing mine this week.

and if it turns out to be the ignition switch,
I have a spare your welcome to.

whoops,
the missus informs me i sold it on ebay.

Thanks eyeryone. I think it is the ignition switch as I tried Fordnuttz sugesstion and it seems to work. Thanks for the offer of the spare switch Krytox. Cheers
