Default wiper problem

recently the wipers on my Audi A4 have stopped working but the screen washers do work, i think it is a relay problem if so where is the wiper relay located.

the wipers don't have a relay as such just a relay for intermittent wash wipe, #24 fuse if for the wipers and windshield washers so if they are working it could only be a couple of things
1. bar came off from the motor you would need to inspect that area ( can you hear the wiper motor at all?? this would indicate that's the problem
2. burned out motor
3. wiring problem
