Hve you checked there is a supply to the park after switching off the teh wiper switch. Sometimes the aux supply is via the ignition or accessory position or a direct fused live _________________ Rover P2

One of connections should be - some are live fed via the wiper switch others it is the earth return that is used to complete and break the circuit instead _________________ Rover P2
