First thing I'd check (after the fluid obv) would be the fuse.

After that it may be that the washer pipes are blocked or the motor itself has gone?

Good luck!  :happy2:

indeed, no noise would indicate a fuse initially - first port of call  :happy2:

Check the following fuses:

Passenger compartement:

F41 - 15A - rear wiper motor,

Main engine fuse box,

F19 - 30A - Wiper motor control unit.

Hope this helps, Luke.
If you have to ask why, you'll never understand.

Hi all
Are you sure its not frozen with the weather we are having.
I drove up to scotland a few days ago and the temp reached -15 degrees c
wipers still worked but no water as it froze solid including the lamp washers.
There was no sound at all from the motors but after a squirt of deicer and some better temps, it started working again.
I too thought the motor was knackered, checked the fuses.

Question............. where is the fuse box in the car, as i only checked the one under the bonnet.
Cheers

When mines frozen I can still hear the pump. I think there are 3 fuseboxes, 1 in the engine compartment, 1 on the drivers side and 1 on the passenger side

Trust me when its frozen properly you cant here a thing other than the relay clicking in and out
If you can here the pump its frozen somewhere else
