Mondeo mkIV 2008 1.8tdci estate wipers problem

Hi all

Recently my wipers started to block themselves, either wont stop even with the engine off and keys out or wouldnt work, stucked in the middle of windscreen.

Doesnt happen all the time, usually when it rains for longer than 15 mins. Could it be fuse? Simultaneously had passenger seat belt alarm beeping occasionally, so i switched it off, but wipers are a way more serious. 

Please help, guys!

    No. A fuse either works or it is blown.

    Wipers stopped itself, now its back and wont stop. Switched the battery off.

    I red that it could be a relay r8 and r11 issue.

    I switched off seat belt alarm by pluging in and out seat belt to anchor 9 time's within 10 sec.this deactivates seat belt. But the wipers is real problem.
