Hi guys the windscreen wipers on sisters 2001 Corsa C dont work.

Checked the fuse in the owners manual it says the fuse should be number 23 which is a 20A so I checked it but under the bonnet was a 30A hmm.. it was blown.

I changed it for a 20A and this blew straight away. So now I put in a 30A and although its not blown the wipers still don't work!!

The rear wiper works fine no problems there.

Whats next step to try guys do you think wiper motor? Are they hard to change? Or are there any relays?

Thanks everyone!

Some wiper motors have a internal protection overload this will cut out if the wipers get stuck in ice /snow, which we have had, this may not have reset so new motor required or could have damaged wiper switch contacts so new stork switch required, not sure as no manual to hand but I would also expect a relay somewhere if so then check, try giving the motor a 12v feed from the battery and see if it runs.
