I have a problem which has arisen in my 142S, it is electrical.
The fuse to the windscreen wipers/washer, "blows" immediately the ignition is engaged.
If I replace the fuse and turn on the wipers and/or the washer, not turning on the ignition, they work without any hesitation, so I assume that I have no problem with these motors.
There is no voltage across the fuse terminals until I switch the ignition on, then there is 12.6 volts and the fuse immediately blows!!
Where should I look first to see how this could be happening??
Any help will be greatly appreciated
