    Possible faulty switch or motor.

    Just ensure that the engine hood (bonnet) is closed properly as there is an inhibit switch incorporated in this, its worth a try.

    Switch on the wipers, check under the bonnet for signs of movement as the wiper arm may have dislocated from its socket.
    If it has, you may need a pulley extractor to insert the arm back into the socket

    Swap temporarily the wiper fuse with another of same rating, to make sure it's not the fuse.
