Intermittant blower & heated rear window 1.8i '96
Got an intermittant problem with blower & heated rear window intermittantly not working. The failure is always simultaneous and nothing else affected. I've looked at Haynes wiring diags for a possible common point - separate fuses, could it be an earth point? Has anyone experienced this or could give a clue as to common earth for the two?

You may find if the ignition switch is faulty that removing the key from the keyring makes it work properly.
I used to drive electronic forklifts which suffered from this problem (it was fun - the things had regenerative braking - ie if you lifted off the thing would stop - but if it switched off - it would run free!)
I had a defective switch on our ZX which wouldn't operate the starter properly. Eventually it would cut out which meant it was time for action - and I found it didn't cut out if I used the key alone. New lock was about £40 from GSF.
