It's great weather to be working on the van. Now that I have to van driving I'm trying to fix all the smaller problems.
I connected it up like this. Fault light is still present after reset.
Yesterday I noticed that the coolant pump was running when I came back from a days hiking. I'm keeping an eye on the coolant level, it doesn't seem to have changed. Is it normal to have the coolant pump activate like this?

could it be a connection to a sensor like the temperature sensor which has been disturbed or wrongly fitted or disconnected during the rebuild, or a bad connection on the multi way connector to the ECU on the controller. look for verdigris / corrosion on the pins too.
other than that it could be a controller fault, have you tried charging the van since, does it charge ok?

Tricky to say if the Aux battery is OK or not, best way is to load it and then take a reading , try bunging on all the lights etc (dont have the ignition on though) and see what the volts drop to, it shouldnt go below 12v really for sometime if it does dip down quickly then suspect it could be duff, with the ignition on and no load the battery should sit around 14v or at the very least 13.8v.
As for the wiper issue I doubt thats anything to do with any electrical fault, thats more to do with the inards of the wiper motor going somewhat up the spout. Theres a little micro switch on a cam inside that makes sure even when you turn off the wipers the motor carrys on opperating until the cam comes round to the wiper resting position before switching off the motor. What can happen is these cams slip or the main output shaft slips and this then makes the resting position of the wipers incorrect.
It will require a new motor or if your feeling brave pull it apart (if you can as a lot of the time their rivited up) and move the cam/shaft back to the correct position

I reject reality and substitute my own !!!!!!
I took that voltage reading with the headlights on.
I'm still no closer to figuring out the Electric fault lamp.
Here's a short video of what happens.

I have the loan of an EVlite unit for the next couple of days, I'm hoping to water the batteries tomorrow.
Heres some of the readings I got.
170V 0A 14' 29%
P 0.0kW 0wh
T:12850 0:1560
Counter: 490AH
I tried resetting the water light, but it had no effect on the Fault light.
