Good shout. Where exactly should I be looking for these connectors? Are they easy to get to, or am I going to be wrestling around under the dashboard for hours?

The main connector for the wiper motor is usually directly on the motor itself, under the plastic cowl at the base of the windshield. For the switch, you'll need to get to the back of the steering wheel column. If you're not comfortable poking around there, it might be worth getting a workshop to check it out. Based on the error code and symptoms you mentioned, it's probably a defective cable or plug connection. A workshop might charge you around 95€ to fix it. Also, could be the rain sensor if your car has one.

Cheers for the advice! Took it to a local garage, and you were spot on – dodgy connector. They cleaned it up, and all is working as it should. Appreciate the help!

Sounds like a faulty connection somewhere, especially if the fuse is okay. Think of it like a dodgy light switch – the power is there, but the connection is broken. Before diving into the motor, have you checked the wiring and connectors going to the wiper motor and the switch itself? Could also be the cruise control switch interfering, if yours has one. That can mess with the wipers sometimes.
