   What do you mean by "taped them up"?
   
   Have you taped them all together or insulated them all separately? For a start I, don't see why you'd cut the wires, when you can easily leave the plug there, which also makes it possible to easily refit a wiper.
   
   I don't have a wiring diagram here to check if you've wrecked anything by cutting the wires. If they are all taped together, take the tape off, and tape each one separately.
   
   Then check your fuses.

   If I had a wiring diagram here, I'd try and help you sort it. Sadly, my Haynes at my 'rents house.
   
   The fuse diagrams can be found here though. http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...025#post875025

   Just check it.
   
   There's only 3 wires going to the rear motor. (I've found a wiring diagram)
   
   The diagram I've got is a little difficult to see properly. But from what I can see, as long as they're all insulated from one another, you shouldn't have a problem.
   
   So check F9, Change it, as I imagine it's blown. Then let us know.
