Matt W 4 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 My money is on something being disconnected, check under the scuttle panel see if everything is plugged in and check fuses! Have you already uploaded pics now the car is done? Link to post Share on other sites
gaz.veedub 0 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 hi mate i had that same thing happen to me,turned out to be nothing to do with the body shop just a coincidance.if you can hear the motor working somthings prob not connected if you cant hear anything like my car did then it could be your wiper stalk, Link to post Share on other sites
