Does anybody know if these circuits are somehow connected.
I have an intermitten fault when all three cease to work for what maybe only a few seconds but equally likely to be ten mins or more

Leave the car running with wipers on,lift the blade from the screen if they will run like it, if they will not,put a duster under the blade. open the bonnet and the large relay box. The wiper is controlled by the big N10 relay as are the indicators. give them all a tap or knock with a screwdriver handle quite hard do the same on the fuse box, it could be poor fuse contacts, and see if you can make things stop.
thats the way that i would go about it and do, these things are quite robust,they have to be.

Had the same problem with an S reg C200 which keeps doing this for almost 2 years now. I have been told it is the switch panel by the transmision tunnel. It is kinda a horse shoe shape when you take the panelling off. ON this it has the electric window, airbag light and rear boot popper switches.
This car has to be the worst with electrics I have ever come across.

I also had on the weekend the wipers, horn and indicator all fail.Worst it happened while driving. Checked all fuses and they were perfect.Next day they were working as if nothing happened.
