2 quickies chaps - wipers + central locking

Windscreen wipers are fine on all settings except normal wiper mode, ie, fine on intermittent or double speed,just don't work properly when you want constant/normal wiper operation..typical

Not a big issue for me,(well, it's a bit of a p.i.t.a) but the wife can't suss it. So I'll have to sort it.

If you push the wiper stalk left,towards the steering wheel,it seems to work ok.
Now then, could I take it off and clean the contacts etc, or is it buggered?

Central locking:

Sometimes the locking's being a pain. If I press the fob, (which would normally go 'blip',lock,flash indicators),locked.
it goes blip..bloop,locks and unlocks again.
Haha,sorry, it's the only way I can describe it

It's not a seatbelt stuck in the door sound,it's different.
I then have to mess with the key,till it locks.
I have noticed the drivers door card has come away a bit,coincidence?

Any ideas welcome : )

sounds like the stalk needs replacing........

as for the central locking are you sure the doors are shut right coz my synergie locks n unlocks the doors if the doors or boot aint shut right.failing that a broken wire in the door jamb.

If the doors are correctly shut and the central locking immediately unlocks then check the contacts where the loom block connects onto the door locks. I've had this problem a few times now and each time the culprit has been the N/S/F one for some reason. If you're near anyone with a Lexia, that can be used to tell which door lock is causing the problem.

Yes the doors/boot are all correctly shut with no obstructions.

Where will I find the loom block...in the door, or in the footwell etc? I'm struggling to find it in the Haynes manual.

Cheers, Dave.

In the door itself, where the block connector plugs into the door lock assembly remove the doorcard to gain access.
