No wipers

From CEM to VEM, from LED to lightbulb and more. If you have an electrical problem, like a broken info-centre, search for answers in this category. This is also the place to be when you expect the problem to be of an electrical nature...

First is your battery charged ok?

No then charge it before checking again

Yes then it is most probably the wiper stalk that is at fault for the front wipers at least.

at worst it could be a CEM fault

the rear wiper can be due to several things

duff wiring loom at rear hatch.
wiper motor dead
fuse.

check all your fuses anyway as it is good practice .

Also we need to know the age of manufacture as the wiring change in 1992

Also I assume it is a 480 ?

You wont be able to post up pictures or video /links until you have a post count of at least 10.

check your earth connections to car body. common for them to corrode on old cars, can stop any number of things including alternator starter engine battery charge anything. could be giving the cem a low voltage. if things happened at once, theyre usually connected to a common problem. worth cleaning the body/engine battery earth straps anyway for good running.
good way of checking specific components for this just jump some wire from main -ve terminal to battery - and see if it works. find main earth at cem and jump it straight to battery - with clean connections see what happens. fairly quick/cheap to do to eliminate the possibility. Earths are brown at the cem.
