This might help ,

I had a problem where the wipers refused to work at all up front or the rear, but then the rear would work if you used the rear washer.

This turned out to be a simple fuse problem. There are two different fuses in the fuse board that control the wipers, and of course it was the second less obvious one.

The two you need to look at (on a Mk II Gal) are 24 and 33
Fuse 24 is the main wiper power, Fuse 33 supplies the switch to control the wiper ecu.


or this,

Fuse 4 20amp is the supply for the rear wiper relay and rear motor.
Fuse 5 10amp is for the wash wipe stalk and supply to intermittent relay.
Fuse 24 is for front wiper relay and supplies wiper motor, it is immediately to the right of K175 on the bottom of the vertical row of four fuses.

K11 intermittent wiper relay, bottom row 2nd from left.
K64 rear wiper relay, above K11.
K175 is the front wiper relay, top row 3rd from left.

If your problem is the rear wiper not working a big snag with the galaxy is the cable in the rubber umbilical RHS, between body n door, the cables break down with all the flexing, you can also put this problem to rear lights, curtesy lights, rear door not unlocking, just cut out the damaged cable, replace but join again either side in door and body.
