Can frozen wiper blades cause an electric fault?
This morning I've tried to operate wipers when frozen. All I got was a lot of clicking in fuse box area. They worked eventually but now all the electrics keep going off and coming on whilst driving. Any Ideas?

You've probably broken the mechanism and that is affecting everything else on the same canbus power circuit. This is why in countries that regularly see below zero temperatures, people park their cars with the wipers sticking into the sky.

The headlights and dashboard of my Peugeot 206 come on when the car is switched off. When I open the driver's door they turn off. There's also high pitch screeching from behind the dash.
I bought a 2004 Ford Fiesta, but the air con, radio, 12v socket and heater electrics don't work. Is there something that may be preventing them from working as they're close together in the car?
The battery in my Peugeot 308CC was draining frequently, especially in cold weather. I replaced the battery seven months ago but it still goes flat after a week if the car isn't used. Peugeot dealer says...
