No windscreen wipers on 2019 ghibli

[Heavenly]

Hi guys.
Seems a week of issues for me on my GTS and now the wife’s called me from the motorway with no wipers in the rain…
Any thoughts on why the wipers have suddenly stopped working on a 2019 Ghibli?
She has pressed the stalk and fluid has sprayed on the screen but no wipers, also including turning the stalk for different speeds, still no wipers.

Ok so just an update as I can’t load videos on here for some reason.
When I press stalk - water sprays no wipers
When I turn to auto wipe (gradient logo) or LO no wipers
When I turn to HI wipers go on fast speed.
When I then turn back to LO from HI (when wipers are working at HI speed) the wipers just stop mid windscreen and sit their stationary.
Battery voltage 14.6V stating normal.
Rain sensor turned on and off and no change.
Any thoughts welcome please.
And any advice on where to get this looked at in Kent ideally not main dealer

It sounds like an electronic issue, but will probably need plugging into a diagnostic to find it.

Not used them myself but heard good reviews.

I've used Giallo in Tonbridge a couple of times and would recommend them: https://www.giallo.co.uk/
Hope it's an easy fix.

Thanks for all the advice so far.
I’ve spoken to my regular maintenance guy (not Maserati or Maserati specialist) and he thinks the fact the wipers don’t park back at the bottom when turning from HI to Low or off, and just stop mid screen that it could be the motor.
He’s going to have a moon Friday.
I’ve no idea how much a wiper motor would be and if it needs to be a genuine Maserati one.

As it is a Ghibli, there may well be a fiat / Chrysler part that will fit, but you’d have to remove it to find out.

Worth checking bonnet sensor as had this on other cars, no wipers if bonnet closed switch not made.
This was without bonnet open warning as well - oddly
A good spray with WD40 and a slam cured it!

Ok so my guy has run checks and coming back as windscreen wiper motor.
He has called Maserati Jardines and it’s £440+ vat
Does anywhere know anywhere else I can try or links to an alternative source selling genuine parts or this part?
Thanks!

It’s not exactly the same, but I think there is probably a Chrysler or Fiat one out there with a bit of searching.

I can imagine a Chrysler one for sure. I was just wondering if you'd actually found it
