Are the wipers faulty in every position of the switch e.g. no intermittent, no wash /wipe etc.?

The wipers have ECU control .

Its high up under the cover under the instrument panel near or on the brake pedal bracket.

It looks like removing the wiper motor and testing it with 12 volts to see if it operates, to eliminate it or blame it..

There are two motors one is called the wiper angle motor

If you can get at the wiper motor plug and disconnect it you can test the motor with 12volts.

Round plug for wiper motor

shaped [square-ish] for angle motor

Hope this of some use!! :duh:
