The front wipers on my Renault megane are not working?

The front winscreen wipers on my Renault Megane Priviledge (2000) are not working. The rear wiper does, I've checked the fuse and thats OK! I've not had any hint of a problem, they were working perfectly last night as it was raining hard!!

done
Remove the wiper motor and carefully seperate the two halves , on the plastic half there is a copper earth very small only about 2mm clean it with a wire brush or emery cloth. Reasemble and refit the motor it's a fidly job but that's all it is the earth connection oxidise

Yes. I am having the same problem. I think it is a common fault with Megane's. A mechanic has recently looked over my car and has diagnosed it as a fault with the starter motor itself. You could probably have it fixed as a temporary measure but would be better to have it fixed properly. This unfortunately means replacing the part itself. Expect to pay £181 for a new motor and 2 hours labour costs!
