You should first clean all your electrical connections and groundings. Made
a huge difference in my case.

Subject: front wipers, heat, door light problem 85'

> Hi, well I was just wondering if they knew if I had a wiring problem. My
front wipers, heat controls, and interior lights are extremely tempermental.
It seems as though when I first turn on my car my wipers and heat controls
don't work right away. Usually after a few minutes they turn on, and work
fine. Is this usual? I thought maybe thats just how they were made. If it
is, well last night they wouldn't turn on at all. Very strange. I kept
playing with them, but they just wouldn't work. I thought that maybe it was
because the engine was cold, but even after it was plenty hot, they still
wouldn't work. This AM though I went to try to figure out what was up, and
they worked. Again very strange. Any ideas?
>   And the interior lights are just tempermental, when I first got it , thy
didn't turn on when I opened the door. Then they started working ok. Then
one day they turned on, but never turned off. Later on that day, they turned
off when the door was shut, Is this something I should be concerned about,
or is it just that they are tempermental?
