faulty wash wipe/indicator switch

[sunil190e-1.8]

my car is a 1997 c200 .

over the last few days ,it has developed a weird electrical problem

whenever i indicate to turn right ,the windscreen wiper comes on in the intermittent mode.

this does not happen when i indicate to turn left.

it has been been very hot here in england,u.k.,

is it a faulty connection in the indicator switch ?

your commments or advice would be very much be appreciated

I have the same problem in a 1986 190e... also if the fogs and headlights are on at the same time, or, if I use the high-beams at all it will also run the wiper.

I'm wondering if it has anything to do with borderline output from the alternator, or slightly low battery.

Any other theories/suggestions would be appreciated.

I beleive this car is the same for c200 to c280 for 97's

Probably time for a new combination switch.
