You could try removing relay 2 in the main fuse box. It controls the intermittent wipe. If you think the auxiliary box has got damp try a hairdryer or compressed air and a spray of WD40. Do NOT use larger fuses as there is a danger you'll burn out the wiring....or worse!.

Do the wipers move at all when you turn them on??
If not then maybe the linkage has popped off and jammed?
other than that its either the motor or wiring
