Default ST170 small problems

Hi all.

I'm new to this forum and to fords. Got myself a lovely 3 door, magnum grey ST170 about a month ago and want to iron out some creases.

First of all, the rear wiper. When I put the rear wiper on, it will do about 1/3 of a sweep and then stop. It will continue after about a 10-15 second period or if I turn the wiper off and back on again. Relays appear fine after swapping the front and rears around and testing. Fault in the wiring or motor?

I also have a problem with the dials that started a few days ago. When I turn the ignition off, the temp and fuel gauge shoot up too just under half way and stay there.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

not sue on the rear wiper but i think the dials may be a weak battery.not 100% on this but i get it on my track car as im running a small race battery.

the best place for info at the moment is on facebook. join the ford focus st170 owners club. you will get your answers on there no doubt.
