Window washers not working

Hi folks .

As heading my window washers have stopped working, when I pull the stalk to operate it nothing happens, the wipers don't even go for the 5/6 times, the rear doesn't work either. Just happened today, they worked perfectly before

Anyone have any ideas as what might be the issue,

Thanks in advance

Checked the obvious fuses first?

It could be a relay but both at the same time is unlikely?
Try different relays first but I think it could be the stalk is at fault, disconnect and clean up the terminals.

Not off the top of my head and my cars are 20 miles away! They are listed in the Haynes though if you have one.

All sorted

Relay was fine. It's no72 if anyone ever needs to know.

It was the stalk. Took it off cleaned the contact put it back on and it works a treat.
