    Ok to qualify; the front wipers are not functioning when I try and wash the screen (not water and no wipe) or when I seek to press down on the stalk for a single wipe. They were working yesterday but failed to work this morning as I was setting off.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you in anticipation

    Andy

    At a guess the column mounted wiper/indicator switch unit has failed in someway - could be loose connection, could be worse. A scan might tell you. Units available on eBay for £65 or less.
