That is interesting, we have relays in our products and I can replicate that issue when the (tiny) pulse signal voltage difference is not sufficient to keep the magnet energised, hence buzzing. That would imply a low voltage at the input side, which tallies up with what Rob mentioned about a leak voltafe of 2Volt as that is not sufficient to energise the relay but would make it buzz like mad.
I’ve looked at the numbers on each fuse as Rob said
Some high in the region of 1000, some low around 025, but fuse 32 is the one that went straight to 1

Interestingly Steve and I were perusing the TIS diagrams to spot any commonality with the faults
Although we couldn’t see the wiper linking up, we did spot that the roof and the central display connectors are in the same location near the roof motor behind the seat
Going to have a look there today to see if any wire chafing issues
The central display has been tested on Steve’s car and works perfectly

You now need to compare those numbers to your coupe. You really need a roadster but your coupe is better than nothing
On my multimeter 1 is no connection and 000 is a perfect uninterrupted connection. This shown on mine by touching the red and black probes together.
Final final roll of the dice was to swap the fuse panel out. For £15 from eBay it was worth it for the spare fuses and relays alone!
Went to swap over today and noticed 2x additional relays in slot 6 and 9. Now up to this point I’ve not noticed anything affected by those not working (fog lights work and not needed to use rear demister)
Fuse panel swapped over- no change to the electrical issues. Sod it.
But
Car won’t start??!!
Swapped the old panel back- starts fine?
So that confused me
But nonetheless the electrical issues are still present.
It’s off for an MOT next week which it will fail due to the wipers not working. But then I can leave it with the garage who specialise in electrical diagnosis and hopefully get it resolved
