The motor will have stalled and probably popped a fuse.
Now using '00 Xantia LX HDI, pov spec

Re: no heater,wipers and electrics
It seems that you have a dead battery. Did you measure it with a multimeter?XantiaDaveEire wrote:...now the battery warning light is lit up on the dash and i have no electrics in the car, ...Dave
Also check if the cable connected to minus terminal is not corroded. Check grounding points.

Did you get the battery warning light with the engine running? i.e. it is not charging
In mine fuse F24 20A (fusebox inside the car) controls both front and rear wiper motors and rain sensor.
If all the electrics in the car is gone than it can not be only that fuse.
It might be a maxi fuse (engine room) that causes the problem.

The important factor is this started because of trying to use a frozen screen wiper , logic would suggest the problem is related to that.
