Accident damage mk3

[Antoguy]

Hi All ,I recently took possession of a mk3 caddy maxi (ex British gas) which had been in a low speed collision , the damage initially was new bonnet ,2 wings,2 headlights,front bumper and polystyrene bumper support . No airbags were deployed. Cosmetically it's back together now but some other issues have come to light
Wipers or wash don't work
R/h indicator don't work on the stalk but does on hazards
L/h indicator only goes off when you switch to right
Main beam flash don't work
If main beam is switched on it won't go off unless the lights are switched off.
Blowers don't work.
Radio don't work
Could these be issues with the bcm or some wiring damage to the column or stalks .
Other comfort functions work like windows,electric mirrors,headlight adjust,Aircon switches on (even though blowers aren't),ASC,air recirc
I thought I'd ask before I start pulling it apart. I believe it's been stood 2-3 years ,I've checked all the fuses but I don't know where the relays are
Any help would be much appreciated
Many thanks in advance

Welcome bud.

You could do with someone with VCDS checking what codes are on the van.

The BCM isn't too bad a change, its only just below the steering wheel but it'll need coding in. I bought a BCM off ebay for £37 or so and they can be recoded.

The other thing i changed was the squib ring but that's a £409 non returnable part from main stealer so you need to be 100% sure before you spunk that sorta cash.

I've had the Car sparks round a few times with mine, most is now fixed but somehow i can't open the rear tailgate and front washer doesn't work so a couple of things left.

Main thing though is it needs the codes reading.

Good Luck!

Wipers and wash won’t work if bonnet latch is not plugged in or the bonnet is not latched all the way down.

Thanks for that bud, I've had a look at it and the bonnet is definitely all the way down.

The rear one works and when i press the lever i can hear the pump, the front one however is silent.

Oddly i can't find the washer pumps although i haven't had a proper look yet, so i need to see if its getting power first and go from there.

You can trick it by just using a flat head screwdriver and clicking it all the way down without using the bonnet to do it, that also helps to make sure the release cable is working before getting the bonnet shut and having the usual bonnet real ease cable problem many have had on here
