had very similar happen on mine, mate was driving it to national day for me and rang me to say wipers had packed up, he opened bonnet to see a big multicore wrapped around mechanism just like yours as. Luckily the cable wasnt made off yet, i'd passed it through bulkhead whilst dash was out to use at a later date so no drama really. Nice scorch marks on that circuit board!!! Keep at it Karlos, really is turning into a saga this car of yours! Glad mine aint running when I read about all these problems!
