No wipers/washers

Suddenly stopped working front and rear, fuses/relays good, stalk itself stripped and cleaned contacts, good. Managed to get them to work yesterday by wiggling the relay with ignition off, turn on, work, turn off and on again, didnt. Tinned the relay with a thin layer of solder for better contact and cleaned relay sockets with isopropyl, no effect. Today no amount of wiggling is getting them working!
Could do with some advice tbh guys!

Checked all the connections into the back of the fusebox? If wiggling around here got it working before there is likely a poor connection, bad ground etc.

Thanks to the invaluable help of James Butler yesterday, it was discovered to be the X point relay, position number 8 in the box! Temporary fuse in place for now but all working again!

Just a quick update but after taking the cover off the relay and soaking it in an isopropyl bath overnight the relay started working again, sometimes these things just need a clean so dont throw them away before at least trying!
