Can anyone help me with the above. Both have never worked in the four years I've had the car. Is there a relay, or something I might replace? Isn't strange that both don't work?
I would appreciate any comments.
Thanks

The seals wear out in the pump and allow water to get into the motor, as a result it rusts up solid, it also leaks water out and sends the boot floor rusty, it did on my 205 so I blocked the hole where the pump fits and fitted a different type of pump higher up.
The wiper could have a broken wire where it bends as the tailgate opens, check the wiper to see if there is any juice getting to it, if not, follow the wiring from the door to the body and untill the connector is located, try here for current, if still no then go to the front and try swaping relays about, there will be a relay somewhere I would have thought as the action of the stalk switch didn't seem good enough to switch motor currents.
Check fuses first obviously

Doubtfull, relays fail completely in one of two ways, one the coil goes permenantly open circuit, no switching of load current then possible or two the contacts sometimes weld together as a result of arcing, resulting in the load current remaining permenantly on.
Coil failure however is the most common of the two.
