Re: Wipers stopped working

Did they start going slow first?

If so the wiper linkage has most probably seized, but a search on here should help locate a few how to type threads. This isn't uncommon

It could also be the wiper motor, or even the switch or relay.

Re: Wipers stopped working

My Mum's Audi's wipers stopped working because the relay had burnt out. Pull the relay out and pop the cover off with a couple of small flat-blade screw drivers and see if any of the contacts look (or smell) burnt.
