Hi punto mk1 wipers front and back and washers
Are dead fuse looks ok
What else can I look at
Thanks

There are motors, relays, switches and wiring. If you have a meter then I would start at the switch and work towards the motor.

Hi

If Nothing works..

Either switch.. or lost earth.. bad relay

Switch access is a chore..

So personally I would unplug wiper motor
(Easy access) and put a meter in the plug.. then work the switch

You may well have 3 to 6 volts showing..

Pointing at a lost earth.. or lousy connection.


IDEA: Have you got adjustble rake on the steering wheel?

Unclamp it and move the wheel/ column through a few ranges of stroke

The cables are well packed in there. So joints can get tugged..

If you improve the voltage at wiper plug doing this.. you know where to look

Thanks I’ll look at that on my next day off

Front and rear wiper motors are different: rear one has an extra fuse inside! Yes, sounds weird.
Replacing (or bypassing) is not easy, but doable. Dismantling the thing is a bit destructive.
It (fuse) pops when rear wiper mechanism seizes (common issue, water intrusion, rust) or is blocked (in winter time - arm frozen to the glass).

Other reasons are also valid - wires, plugs, switches, relays, main fuses (fuse boxes) etc.
