Cheers! I was in two minds whether the metal 'clip' was supposed to be connected to any other wire or if it was just a junction point. I will try the wipers and pull that fuse out to see what happens. I now have a thin purple/black wire hanging down unconnected though if its not supposed to be connected to this metal joiner, if anyone has a wiring diagram regarding this part of the fiesta efi loom that would be great. I am replacing the underbonnet part of the ignition loom tomorrow so i'll be able to rule that out, that leaves the dodgy wires to the fusebox to sort and hopefully the damn thing might spark
