S2 XJ6 wipers, AC and indicators gone mad

Fellow Jag-Lovers

After a splendid 1800 km trip last weekend, I was more in love with 
my Jag than ever.  Since then, I have put on another 200 km in the 
city.  It seems that my Jag didn't take to well with the restrictions 
of city driving and certain systems went on strike (a popular 
past-time in SA nowadays).  

The wipers refuse to budge and is currently smack bang in the middle 
of my windscreen (try to look elegant with that).  The direction 
indicators refuse to operate.  In fact, if I move the lever to switch 
on the right indicator, the right front fog light and tail light 
comes on.  If I try the left indicators, the dashboard illumination, 
left front fog light and tail light comes on.  Furthermore the AC 
does not switch on anymore.  It worked perfectly during the trip.  I 
do not think that the AC has gone bad, more likely the 
whatyoumacallit that switches it on. This with the temperature around 
the mid 30s in summer.

Is this the work of the dreaded Lucas, Prince of Darkness?  If so, I 
have a formiddable opponent.  How do I go about to vanquish this 
evil?  My workshop manual describes how to remove and refit every 
component of the car, unfortunately, I have no idea wath the problem 
might be.  A visual check on the fuses and replacement of the fuses 
made no difference.  Any help will be appreciated.

She is so beautiful, yet she can be so full of %$#*& at times. 

Thanks.
