Hi people...i need a little help.I bought a new column switch...my car 1978 fiat x1/9 Australian version.Fitted new column switch...tried lights, all functioned as they should.Plugged in wiper connector turned ignition on and smoke started coming from the connector, so i immediately unplugged it.I now have no power at the 2 orange wires at the loom connector block previously wipers had functioned correctly.I now have no wipers, instrument gauge water oil pressure fuel gauge and tacho not working.Instrument gauge lights working.No fuses blown...i am not so good at wiring diagrams ( which i have) but i can see one of the orange wires from connector block goes to the wiper motor
and it seems the other orange wire goes to the instrument gauge.I would like to know where the power to the orange wires come from..and would appreciate any clues as to the possible cause.I back tested the orange wire from the wiper motor end of loom and it has continuity.Thanks in advance for any advice
