HEY GUYS,

I'd start by checking All fuses (3 lots), the fuseable links (best done with a multimeter),

I fear if the overcharging was bad some of the 'black' boxes throughout the car might have issues though

OR

you may have some melted wires under the dash (check round the firewall where space is tight and the heat gets traped, behind the stereo/aircon may be worth a look to)

couple of Q's

does the car run OK, ie is the ECU OK

is there anything you can do to make the wipers either:- come on, or blow the fuse. Or is it random

cheers bundy

checked all the fuseable links i could find pulled out dash and it all looks fine

car runs fine no problems at all

as for the wipers the stay on constantly as soon as you start the car and will blow the fuse after 2 or so minutes

thanks

Did you change the alternator yourself? Or did you use an autoelec?

If you used a sparkie, and all this happened straight afterwards, then...... !!!

ECUs can get touchy like bundy said.

This is a remote chance, but the same thing happened to a guy's car in Canada. When winter cold set in, the mice started to eat not just the birdseed that was stored in his garage, but also the wiring that fed his central heating + his car. No mice in your garage?

Nah! See the sparkie! Although time = $$$, so a mate who's an autoelec?

And when it's all fixed, check out the Event, "R32 GT-R 21st Birthday" and come along eh?

i changed it myself as it started overcharging, and the problems have start from that. i just want tio know how to fix the aircon & wipers mainly

thanks again

I'd start with the wipers (cheaper) and swap the brain (black box), I think its under the dash

if that works replace the aircon controls in the dash

sounds like it might be an $$$ journey though
