Hi All,

I have a 2008 Estate Octavia (elegance model), basically in September the rear wash jet came off/stopped working, never used since the rear spray. Today got around to taking to bits and repair the hose of the brake light. All fine and fixed, brake light fully works, put car back together.....

But now the the rear wiper & heated rear window dose not work! you press the switch of latter and noting on dashboard.... same with rear wiper. Took off the covers again to check any knocked out cables and nothing, all appear fine, the cable that feeds in to the number plate light works and boot lock on the loom just the wiper and heater.

Any one have any ideas to what might be the problem and how to fix?

many thanks,

james.

Are you sure the pipe only failed behind the high level brake light?

They have been known to pop off / split behind the CD Multichanger too, this soaks a box of electrics which causes all sorts of rear end electrical issues.

Is the boot shut, and does the car think the boot is shut? If you have maxidot this is easy to see. There have been instances of the switch in the boot latch failing so the rear wiper etc won't work as the car thinks the boot I'd open.
