Help! Lots not working

Before I go pulling it apart, my Silver Campaign has suddenly developed a few problems all at the same time :(
The wipers and washers (both ends) and the heater blower have all died simultaniously any idea as to why??

It has already had a new fuse box if thats any help, all were fine one day and not the next  :?

Forgot to mention I had a quick look and can't find a live feed up to the wiper switch

I would target a bad earth first, then check for 12V at the fusebox with the switches on.

Do they share a fuse? Which one is it?

For future reference one of the live feeds from the ignition switch to the fuseboard wasn't getting through and that was what was causing the gremlins, fixed now though :)

Had a similar problem - but intermittent. No live feed to any of these components, fuses fine etc. Wiring diagram had a cross-over relay taking live from the ignition switch and switching current to wipers, blower, etc. Replaced the cross-over relay and all has been fine since.
