Hi, new user here. This relates to a 2000 Cordoba .cool/S but I'm pretty sure the equip is the same as the Ibiza so I'm posting here too:
I know there is a known electrical issue with the radio/aircon console. I used to have it come on by itself and ended up taking out the fuse.
The problem suddenly disppeared when I had a new alternator fitted recently and everything was hunky dory for a while. Until a few days ago when after a cold spell, the stereo console wouldn't switch on then died completely (no display, nothing). Checked/swapped the fuse - no change.
Now the passenger side wiper has stopped working. Driver's side is fine.
From scouring the net I get the feeling this is all to do with loose/damaged electrical connections behind the stereo, and a first step would be to take off that console panel and see if I can spot any loose wiring. Does that seem right or am I barking up the wrong tree? Any advice appreciated.
