When turning the ingnition on (but not to starter pos) i Heard a sound like a relay ticking, and i noticed that the ammeter moved up and down, something uses Power but nothing is "on". I examend the wires and "stuff" under the dashboard and i felt that the switch for windshield wiper was hot, so i disconnected it and took in out. Then the sound i Heard earlier stopped and the ammeter showed now only littel discharge in ingnition pos. Whats is wrong, is it the switch or the wiper motor ?? Anybody knows ??

If the switch got overheated, you start with the switch. Then work from there.

Plug it back in and unplug the wires going to the wiper motor and check if it's heating up. Might be the wiper motor.

New switch arrived but how to put the wiring right? One socket with 4 wires, that fits only oneway but the others ? One is bigger, an one have a opening on one side, those fits but thats 6 wires one more on the back of the switch, and a lot of unconnected wires under the dashboard. So sleepless night studying wirediagram, puhhhh.
