No live to the rad fan circuit and wash/wipe not working

Car: 1.8 Automatic Cabby 1987 (E)

My rad fan is not kicking in when the engine gets hot.

Fan works when directly connected to power on both speeds.

Bridging the temp switch does nothing. (and a new temp switch has been fitted)

I have checked for 12v at the rad fan/temp switch circuit (ie where it meets the main loom) and its dead.

All fuses in the 'box have been checked with a multimeter.

Are there any inline fuses/relays that operate this circuit? If so which ones?

Also the wash/wipe is no longer working could the two be connected?

Yep replaced fuse when looking at the fuse box FAQ on here - still no joy.

Both wiper speeds work but no wash. This switch was new a couple of months ago as the last one failed the MOT.

I didn't have either of these problems until I hit a rather big pothole a few weeks ago (ruining the passenger side suspension) could the jolt (or the garage that repaired it) have pulled a multi plug apart around that area causing these failures?)

That power cable [see sticky above ] on the back of the fuze box may have come adrift , you will have to drop the fuze  box and look

G plugs
1 - red - jumpered to pin H
6 - red/blk - Radiator fan thermo switch
7 - blk/gr

thanks Chudd,
hopefully that will solve it. I'll post back when I've returned home and had a chance to look properly
