Default headlamp wipers

after getting the car back from the paint shop in the summer the wipers have stopped working altogether and no water is being pushed out..any ideas what to look for to sort it?

You have more than one problem as the lack of washer pump will not stop the wiper.
I would guess they have just forgotten to connect them that's all, hopefully it's just that.

Best bet is to get front up on ramps and follow wiring harness from each motor along chassis, you will soon see it, and the spare connectors hanging around looking lost, some are squarish and some trinagularish(is there such a word!!).
