Wipers & all indicators stuck on! Help please!

[GT-2047]

Hi Guys,

 

Bit of a strange one, was driving my Fabia SDi without any issues, stopped and reversed into a space when all of a sudden the thing goes nuts! All indicators stuck on solidly (dash tell tells are not on though), front wipers on although stalk in the 'off' position. Also, the boot solenoid popped open!

 

If i turn ignition off, everything stays on (wipers, indicators).

 

Does anyone have any idea what could have caused this?

Any help appreciated, i am lost!

 

Cheers,

J

Try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. I have no mechanical knowledge and that would be the first thing I would do.

IMO massive earth problem or massive short circuit or similar. Would imagine water in a fusebox or loom might do it. Certainly reads like an odd one.
