This is quick and dirty because I don't have time to trace it out -
but wipers, heater blower and rear defogger are all powered by the
load reduction relay (small relay, might have 24 on it? - first page
of Bentley wiring section for your year will show location and
designation) which is driven, along with the headlights, by the
ignition switch X terminal.  So if the X terminal is bad, none of
them will work right.  If the relay is having problems,
wipers/blower/defog won't work.  One assumes that you've checked the
relevant fuse?

That's as far as I can go without looking at the diagram.
