do you mean relay or fuses?

fuses are on the side panel of the drivers side (access gained with the door open)
only relays I have ever seen are in the engine bay (passenger side) to the left of the suspension strut in the black box

Sorry didn't phrase it properly basically my rear wiper don't work but the jet was does so before I start to think its a broken wire thought I'd check the relay to see if that's a possible reason it stopped working wasn't until yesterday I even knew what a relay was as u can guess I have 0% knowledge about cars lol

Rear wipers dont have a relay.

A bloke at work use a tool he had in his car couldn't tell u what it was but he connected it up to the wiper and it was moving so I know it does work so would it most prob be a broken wired ?

The fuse for the rear wiper is located on the top of the relay panel, which is behind the trim above your pedals. It's 15 amp I believe!
