Rear wiper power feed or lack of....

I have been investigating why the rear wiper will not park when you turn off the wiper mid-stroke.
Turns out lack of power to the green wire behind the rear panel by the back door.
Fuses are OK.
Confirmed this by running 12v to the park wire at the motor and the wiper parks if you switch off mid-stroke.

Looking at the Haynes manual, it looks like there is a join in the wire? If so, any ideas were this might be? 1999 Defender TD5 110

could be the switch acting up or the relay sticking. Id try the relay 1st, when i have had trouble with the indicators/ hazards, i have thought it been the switch/ stalk, turned out to be the relay having a one. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

I think the switch is OK, if I can trace back from the rear of the car along the loom I can sort it out.
Not sure where the relay is for the rear wiper 1999 Defender TD5 110

No rear wiper relay on pre 2002MY Defenders. It’s all done in the switch.

Diagram:

https://www.lrworkshop.com/wiring-diagram/...rs-washers

Fuse 3 supplies ignition 12V to header 285 (C0285) on pin 1. Pin 2 supplies the rear door park switch, pin 4 supplies the rear wash/wipe switch.

Pin 2 goes to connector pair C0377/C0391 pin 3. These are the 6 pin grey chassis loom connectors near the coolant bottle.

It then goes to the rear door connector pair C0704/C1102 pin 1
