Hullo, The windscreen wipers on my 2004 Ford Ka suddenly stopped working on my way to work this morning. The jets are not working either (may have been frozen). The wipers are stopped in an upright position (inviting certain parties to take an unhealthy interest). Could it be a fuse, or more serious? Can I force the wipers into a prone position? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

You need to take it to an Auto Electrician, mine have stopped on my Mondeo and it keeps blowing the Fuse so maybe you have a similar problem. Mine's is in the Garage now being checked out, it's either gonna be the Wiper Motor or could even be the Wiper Switch arm so unless you know what you're doing with car electrics to find the fault i'd say take it to get the problem found by an auto electrician
