if you tried using the wipers when ur car was frozen or with piles of snow on will have burnt out the motors. cant imagine fiesta wipers being heavy duty so that will prob be it.

It can be 1 of 4 things. Fuse, motor, wiring or switch. You will need a little bit of know how and a means of checking for voltage for 3 of them. The easiest one is checking the fuse are you sure its ok? If it is the next thing you need to check, is there any voltage at the plug that attaches to the motor with wiper switched on ? If there is the motor has gone, if there aint its either the switch or the wiring which then gets more complicated as you will need to either just buy a switch and -

It almost certainly had to be the fuse if the rear one doesn't work either being on the same one which is why I asked but you got to it before I saw your reply. Don't use window wipers when the screen is packed with snow. Clear it all off first.

I would pay 100 quid just for a Ford badge rather than buy a Ford car. The badges dont fall to pieces. I was dumb enough to have had 2 Fords and twice learnt the never again lesson!
