VT Wagon Wipers Broken?

[gooez]

Hey Guys, First post on here.
So, Today as I started my wagon, My wipers just would not work, The car is only recently purchased (but the other day they were working) and I just cant work out for the life of me what is wrong,
I didn't get the chance to check the rear wipers, but now nothing on my wiper stalk works, I checked it on my sedan and the stalk works fine, tried my sedan one and still nothing.

I have searched around the best I can, But no solution as of yet.
No jets, No Wipers at all, Can't hear any sounds of the wipers trying to move, just nothing.

Please help me I am moving house tomorrow and it is raining

they can short out, you'll need to open the tailgate from inside and check it.

If not shorting, could still be the switch or the motor. Auto-electrician would be able to sort it in no time.

cheers mpower, will give it a look, but would that cause the issue of absolutely notthing on the stalk to work?

if it's nothing at all it's more likely to be the stalk or fuse/relay.

I was under the impression it was only the rear wiper having an issue.

I swapped the stalk over from my sedan, and all relays and fuses, and all the ones from my wagon onto the sedan, they worked in the sedan but they didnt in the wagon.
I am stumped.

I am guessing here but I think that the sedan and wagon have different wiper switches due to the extra washer etc. From memory they are completely different switches and incompatible. IE sedan switch will not work in wagon. Cheers

I'll try to source a wagon stalk, but the stalk from the wagon worked in the sedan, which in theory shouldn't have worked?

Got a cheap second hand motor today, so we try switching that, if that fails, auto elec job.

Update: Moved house without rain thank god.
Just went out to the car before to try and replace the motor but thought I would give a power check to the motor.

No power from the plug at all, tried with test light.
So there might be a problem in the wiring?
Will give it another look tomorrow.

Taking all that stuff off to get to the wiper motor is a bitch.
