I’ve had plenty of wiper woes but never the issue of both wipe and wash not working simultaneously .
I should think it’s related to the actual wiper stalk on the steering column, there’s nothing else that springs to mind . Although I’ll no doubt be corrected in a bit ! The contacts are notoriously sensitive on both stalks and any overload could have melted one or two points. |

If wipers were operated whilst frozen, so not able to move, I would expect the fuse to blow, I know you have checked this, but I would double check it. The next stage is to determine if you are getting 12v to motor. If yes motor has failed, if no it’s fuse, relay, or switch.

Turn it on, then give the wipers a nudge and keep clear.
You might find this will do the trick. Try carefully manually operating them and just becaregul if they do spring into life. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇺🇸⛽️🛢️⚙️🧰💪 |

Cheers chaps,
It made sense to me that it would be a fuse or stalk issue. But I have double checked the fuses and all are fine. I have also replaced the stalk and still no joy. Not sure where to go with this as if both washer and motor are not working there must be some common fault somewhere...? |

Can you hear the wiper motor turning?

No noise and manually moving the wipers whilst on doesn’t work either 😤

Well I suppose the leaves you with the relay . The washer wiper synchronisation must go through a relay in order for it to work as one

Which fuses have you looked at? Have you done a visual inspection only or tried swapping known good replacements to check?
Supply to wiper feed relay is Fuse 12 (15 Amps) Also check Fuse 9 (engine ECU ignition sense).  Click image to enlarge 1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

Right, relay changed and still no joy!
I’ve visually checked all fuses and swapped the relevant fuse. My fuses are numbered differently to the ones you mention. Click image to enlarge |
