S4 wiring loom - heeeelp

Heeelp I having a nightmare!! I was experiencing intermittent electrical issues with the wipers, indicators, fan. I called a local auto electrician to visit my home and take a look, who ran a number of new earths which sorted the problem, however on closer inspection he was uncomfortable with the dash loom as it has been messed with in the past and a number of wires were getting extremely hot; there was also evidence of melting wires and a melted bullet connector. He advised me to purchase a new loom which I did; this is where my problem gets worse. He disconnected wires to the main & rear harness and to the indicator and light column switches but has not visited again and isn?t answering calls or messages!! I am trying to sort this myself, however I have a problem at the final stage. The column light switch has 3 wires Blue/Brown which I can match on the loom, however the Blue/White and Blue/Red do not have matching wires!!! The old loom has a triple bullet connector with blue/brown, purple/black and blue purple leading to it and a green/blue, blue/black into a double bullet connector. What goes where? Also the multi connector which goes to the wiper motor has 2 white green wire going into the same side of a double connector; does anything connect to the out port(s)?

a good source of informations would be a S4 wiring diagram, e.g. see :

Regarding the wiper motor connections, from the wiring diagram it looks like your double connector with the 2 white/green wires is missing the green +12v supply wire from the fuse box.

The wiring diagram on the wiki http://www.lotuselan.net/wiki/Lotus_Ela ... ng_Diagram is not the original wiring diagram, it has extra features.
viewtopic.php?f=38&t=40282&start= should be much more helpful to you.
