I changed my stalk, now the MFA don't work :grin:
Still at least the wiper works.....

So i take it that it is the control stalk thats the problem and that you was just unlucky to pick one up that had a faulty mfa?

Just bought a new stalk,I guess for nothing cause it still is not working.
Why is it that when I push the lever back washer works but the front wipers come on instead  :huh:?

Turned out that my relay had come out and just needed pushing back in.

The rear washer uses the same motor as the front washer, it just goes in reverse for the back, so it has nothing to do with the rear wiper.
Found the problem the plug at the tail light that connects to the tailgate loom was disconnected  :undecided:
