Default Wiper trouble in Seattle

I am new to this forum and looking for a little help. I have an 02 disco and the front wipers have stopped working. The intermitten started to fail first, now nothing. I have replaced the wiper switch on the column. but when I turned it on, nothing. I noticed that it was blowing the 15A fuse for the front wiper motor/washer pump. I have looked but have been unable to detect any trouble with either of those items.

Any thoughts on what else would be worth looking at?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

If you are blowing fuses then you have to much load on the system, either a electrical short or a seized wiper motor.

Here's pix of the washer pump, which is also fed by that fuse, and the wiper motor. Divide and conquer - unplug one, put in new fuse, and try again.
