Try this. http://www.carsoft.ru/avtorepair/sierra_el.html. It says Sierra but it is for the Scorpio.

Who'd have thought, eh?  Thanks for letting us know though, might save somebody else a lot of grief in future.
 
Just out of interest, how did you find the problem?  Did you notice it visually whilst checking something else in the same area, by reading the wiring diagrams, or just plain old process of elimination (i.e. pulling out other fuses/relays randomly!)??

well mate, i was doing the process of ellimination. disconecting multi plugs etc.started near fusebox...i no that when i pulled fuse16  the lights went off and i could hear a relay click. pulled the wires off the interior fan, nothing. as i was putting them back on i heard the relay click and the lights were off,then they just came back on so start bending the wires from there back towards the fusebox. gently pulling each loom.and eventually discovered it was the wiper....
