Yesterday some of the electrics on the car stopped working, 1992 230TE. The electric windows, main beam flasher, winscreen wipers and maybe something else that I have not found yet have stopped working. The indicators still work and all the lights. All fuses are OK so could it be an earth somewhere?

be 100% sure on fuses, as i think those items are covered by one fuse, check ends of fuse isn't burnt.

Star, you were correct. I removed the fuses again and even though they were not burnt and looked in tact at the ends, the bottom of one was corroding and as I pressed it, it fell apart. Well that car is 16 years old, so I suppose the fuse may be also. Well thanks again, next times I won't just take them out and look at them.
