Hi, a friend has just purchased a 1969 S2 2+2. It has been standing a couple of years - but flew through an MOT. Then the next day no lights and other electrics such as rev counter etc. I had a similar problem with the lights myself and removing and cleaning the fuse on the dash solved the problem - same for the rev counter/horn etc.
What I can't seem to get working is the windscreen wipers or washer. Everything else seems fine ! I cant immediately see what fuse it is either - the one top right appears to have no power to it but I don't think it is this one.
Any useful advice welcome before I spent the next couple of hours tryng to find it as I've drawn a blank
thanks
Steve

Both are powered from fuse 6, so start there by checking power both sides of a decent fuse!

CoolCat also has an S 2 wiring diagram if you google it.... Print it off; it's invaluable. If the fuse is fine, check the switch for the wipers and then the motor. The pump,on the screen wash is notorious for packing up.

Let us know how it goes

There are colour wiring diagrams in the Forum KB.
