Defender 90 windscreen wipers - dead!

Hi folks

My brand new to me (1997) D-90 is just one week old - and suddenly, the wipers go belly up.

All the other electrics are good - even the rear wiper - as are both washer squirters (front and back).

I checked the relevant fuse - it appears OK - and since this is my first proper land rover, I still don't have a Haynes yet.... so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas - or quick fixes - or suggestions (before I take it to the shop).

This might also be useful info - I did bugger up the reversing electric switch/sensor (the one that sends a signal from transmission case to reversing lamp on the back end) - so I'm wondering if that has any impact on other circuits? The wipers were working when I bought the truck last week. I'll replace the sensor asap.

As you can imagine, I'm a bit ****ed .....

thanks in advance for your help,

cheers - David

ignore me earlier post guys ..... I had a wee cup of tea - calmed myself down - and thought - it's a bloody defender. There's no circuits - no computers - no wierd ****. It has to be a fuse.

so I went back to the panel - and found the culprit. the one that's shared with the reversing lamp.

end of .....
