My new Morris, electric Hell!

[Occulthand]

My 59 Morris has just suffered multiple electrical failures on the wipers, the fuel gage( constantly showing full) heater and indicators, surly these can have failed simultainiously? But the two fuses I can see look fine? Anyone have any advice?

A Minor is such a simple car that it's sure to be a simple fix. All the items you mention are run through the same fuse. If the fuse looks OK it'll be a mucky fuse holder. Remove the fuse and clean up the fuseholder. Better still buy a new one in the longer term. Then carry on and enjoy your car .

Thanks I'm making a list of things to try when I can get out to work on her, many thanks for this!

Agree, clean up the fuse holder contacts first. But don't trust glass fuses if they look okay, they might not be. Buy a couple of new ones, they're cheap enough and you then have spares if the old ones prove to be good.

You shold have two spare fuses in the fuse holder
