I stupidly tried to switch my windscreen wipers on while I had a bike rack on. The rear windscreen wiper now does not work at all. The screen wash will still spray but the wiper will not move, even if I try manually. Is there anything I can do?

It looks like you may have blown a fuse there are several that run the system.

Here is a wiring diagram that show the fuses in question and a guide to help you get the job done:
