wipers do not work when switched on, but come on when you switch on the blower. However, the blower does not work.

sounds like a bad wiring connection. you may need an auto electrician to track this down.

my windscreen wipers do not work when i use the switch. However, when i turn on my heater blower the wipers work at varying speeds according to how fast the heater blower is turned.The heater fan does not work.
