Crossed wires on wipers following recon eng fit.

Just had a recon engine fitted and now keeps going into limp mode and engine system fault light comes on.....
Also more easilyfixed i hope is wipers have been crossed. When ask for front jets i get front jet and rear wiper and on rear i get rear jet and front wiper. Anyone know where the wires are likely to have been crossed when body came off ?
Anyone got ideas for a non technical member?

Long and painful story but essentially 2nd recon engine fitted at NWS. Still dont know what went wrong with original engine. Its with the dealer / supplier.im hoping that they have just switched clip on wires to wipers..

I now leave the pipes on, and remove the pump from the bottle, when lifting the body Laughing

If I ever lifted a body there is just no way it would all go back together.

Mine was like that when I bought it, I wonder what work the previous owner had done?
