Diagnosing wipers?

First rainy day since I bought my 2005 X, and sure enough, the wipers don't work... Neither the front, nor rear wipers work, and the washer fluid does not spray.

Any advice on diagnosing it? What are the various potential failure points along the way?

- Turn signals work just fine, but I suppose it could still be a bad switch (or switches) in the signal stick?
- I don't think it's a fuse, since one would think it would be just the front or just the rear? Are there separate fuses (owners manual only mentions fuses for the front, two different fuses for the front...)
- same with wiper motors: kinda surprised if they both independently burned out, no?

Any suggestions?
