2009 Volkswagen Routan. My wipers don't work. They will not move even by hand! What do I do please?

If it frozen, that rules out a disconnected linkage. Unfortunately, this is a little known model and whereas I can always find fuse box diagrams, for yours I can't. If you have a test meter, you can test all the fuses without removing them by testing for continuity at the two contacts on the top of the fuse. It may also be the relay.

Google thinks it might be this as apparently they are a badged Chrysler. If it is it is this fuse J20.

Where is wiper fuse for 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage

The wiper fuse for a 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage is located in the passenger compartment fuse box. The fuse box is located under the instrument panel on the left side, for left-hand drive cars. And on the right, for right-hand drive cars. The wiper fuse is labeled "WIPER" or "WINDSHIELD WIPER". It is a 15 amp fuse. To replace the wiper fuse, you will need a small flathead screwdriver. Open the fuse box cover. Locate the wiper fuse. Use the screwdriver to pry the wiper fuse out of the fuse socket. Install the new wiper fuse into the fuse socket. Close the fuse box cover. If your windshield wipers are not working, it is possible that the wiper fuse is blown. You can check the wiper fuse by looking at it. If the metal strip in the center of the fuse is broken, then the fuse is blown and needs to be replaced. You can also check the wiper fuse by using a multimeter. Set the multimeter to the "ohms" setting. Touch the positive lead of the multimeter to the metal strip on one end of the fuse. Touch the negative lead of the multimeter to the metal strip on the other end of the fuse. If the multimeter reads "0 ohms", then the fuse is good. If the multimeter reads "OL", then the fuse is blown and needs to be replaced. Once you have replaced the wiper fuse, your windshield wipers should start working again.

Cost to repair timing chain, on 1996 vw vr6 , passant station wagon

Just the chain by it's self?

Look on the internet sites for a price

Rock Auto,Napa,etc

If your paying someone, you ask the merchants of
your choice.

Doubtful a chain goes on in a couple hours or that
other work wouldn't be necessary.

My windshield wipers just stopped working for my 1997 saturn sl2

Most certain that the fuse has blown out on the wiper section. So look on your fuse box for the Wiper fuse and replace with the spare available.
Now if the fuse blows out again there is short in the wiper motor , or it has jammed.
If the fuse is intact then the motor can be faulty or a possible break in the wiring.
