Bentley page 97.59, current tracks 96-105 has got what you need.  The
three things that will kill blower and wipers at once are the 16A
fuse S12 (about third from the right or so on the panel, look under
the overheated spot on the cover), the X-contact relay, and the
X-contact on the ignition switch, track 25 and 39.  The last two will
also kill the rear window defogger.

Incidentally the high blower speed chronically overloads that circuit
as well as the blower switch, better to add a circuit with a relay to
drive that third speed, use the switch to control the relay.
